Morata has played 13 La Liga fixtures this season, with 12 of those coming from the substitute’s bench. However, despite his game time being sparse, Morata has netted three goals and created six chances.

The Spaniard has also won an impressive 68% of his contested aerial duels hinting at a suitability to playing as a lone striker role in the Premier League, although it remains to be seen as to whether Real Madrid will allow the highly-rated 22-year-old youth product to leave the Bernabeu.
