5 most improved players in Europe this season

#1 Alvaro Morata

Morata has been a key part of Chelsea's title push this season

Now, now calm down. Morata is probably the most high profile name on this list because of his move to Chelsea and the ruthless manner in which he has grabbed his opponents' throat in the Premier League, but all wasn't so smooth for Morata last season.

Yes, he did win the Champions League, and the La Liga with his boyhood club, as well as score 20 goals in all competitions, but that doesn't tell the entire story.

Morata spent most of the season on the bench, literally waiting in the shadows. The fact that he still had such an impact on Real's team performances is a testament to how good of a player he actually is, having outscored regular starter Karim Benzema last season.

Seeing as how he has started this season, having already scored 9 goals and set up 4 in 18 appearances, and that Real have struggled quite a bit this season, it is clear that Morata is the big winner this season.

Every time Chelsea have done something good, Morata has been a central figure as to why. With majority of the season left to go and a potential Champions League clash against his former club, he has the chance to show them exactly what they lost.
