Alvaro Morata
Morata is on the radar of top European clubs

Morata has been linked with a move away from Juventus with Real Madrid, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United all said to be interested in the striker. He has played a key role in firing Juventus to two consecutive League titles and the Champions League final last year.

Morata has scored some very crucial goals for Juventus, finding the net in the Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid last year and scoring twice in this year’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg against Inter Milan. He also assisted in either legs against Bayern Munich and has 11 goals and 12 assists to his name this season across all competitions.

Guiseppe Marotta, Juventus’s football director, heaped praise on the 23-year-old forward saying “We’ve never considered selling Morata. He is part of the backbone of this team; he’s a youngster who has shown he is the real thing. We are used to keeping hold of players like him.”

Morata could address Spain’s problems up ahead and could knock up a few goals with feeding being no problem considering Spain’s world-class creative midfield.
