5 top players who did not deliver in the 2017-18 season

#2 Alvaro Morata

Morata had a brilliant start at Chelsea

Alvaro Morata was one of the superstars that secured famous transfers to the Premier League during the summer of 2017. After failing to break into the team at Real Madrid, the striker decided to join the likes of Cesc Fabregas and Marcos Alonso at Chelsea.

His move also attracted a big fee as the Londoners paid £60 million to lure him to the Stamford Bridge. The attacker had a rapid start to his Chelsea career, bagging a goal and an assist on his Premier League debut. However, everything after his first few games at the club suggests mediocrity.

The Spaniard failed to reproduce the kind of performances he achieved at the start of the season, therefore he faced a lot of criticism. Infact the club lost faith in him, signing another striker, Olivier Giroud from Arsenal in January.

Despite his brilliant start, Morata finished the campaign on a low-key, bagging 15 goals and 6 assists in 47 appearances for the Blues. He also failed to make the World Cup squad to represent his nation in Russia next month.
