#2 Morata swap for Sevilla's Silva

Andre Silva

Alvaro Morata has had a miserable season for Chelsea, and it looks like that will end in the January transfer window as the Spaniard has been linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge.

The latest rumour as per The Sun is that Morata will be offered to Sevilla on a loan deal, while Andre Silva, who is currently on loan at the Spanish club from AC Milan, will move to Stamford Bridge.

Silva has had a decent season at Sevilla, scoring 8 goals in 16 appearances in La Liga.

Sevilla's sporting director Joaquin Caparros confirmed his club's interest in Morata but did reveal that it is tough to negotiate with Chelsea: “It is true that we have an interest in this player [Morata], but it is a very, very complicated operation. The player may want to come here over other options, but it is very complicated. Chelsea are a club who are very difficult to negotiate [with].”

ESPN have reported that Morata's agent has arrived in London to have discussions regarding the Spanish striker's move.
