5 reasons why Alvaro Morata will succeed at Chelsea

#3 Age and experience on his side

Silence! The actual show is yet to begin

Still only 24, Morata has a lot of time on his hands to evolve into a deadly and world class striker. Most players hit their prime between the ages of 26 to 29 so the best of Morata is most likely yet to come. After playing with world class teammates such as Bale, Ronaldo, Marcelo, Pogba, Bonucci and under world class coaches like Zidane and Massimiliano Allegri, Morata has most likely gained enough experience to get his career into full swing at Chelsea.

He started his senior career with the Real Madrid B team playing 83 times and scoring 45 goals for them. Later, he was promoted to the first team, playing 37 times for them from 2010 to 2014 while scoring 10 goals. His obvious lack of playing time saw him being shipped on loan to Juventus from 2014-2016 by Carlo Ancelotti.

At Juventus, he was deployed more like a second striker to provide support to Carlos Tevez. He sparked there and guided them to two consecutive Serie A titles, their 10th and 11th Coppa Italia titles and an UCL final. He returned to Real Madrid for the 2016-2017 season where he helped Real win La Liga and a second consecutive Champions League, their 12th overall.

All these achievements mean Morata is no newbie when it comes to knowing what it takes to win trophies and play in major tournaments and finals. With his prime years still ahead of him, a lot can be expected.

Under the excellent tutelage of Antonio Conte, the welcoming atmosphere present at Stamford Bridge and the loving fans of the Blues, Morata has the right environment and ingredients to succeed and grow at Chelsea.
