#3 Success stories of Lukaku-Morata transfers

Romelu Lu
Romelu Lukaku has been excellent for Manchester United so far
I am happy with Lukaku with or without goals because his contribution is good - Jose Mourinho

Romelu Lukaku and Alvaro Morata have been the signings of the season in the Premier League so far. The forwards were drafted in by Manchester United and Chelsea, respectively, and have proven themselves to be worthy purchases immediately.

Ironically, Lukaku was initially targetted by Chelsea and Morata, by United. However, they now look at perfect fits in the teams they landed up in eventually.

Lukaku has scored 4 goals in 4 games so far and has been in imperious touch for the Red Devils. He has created an instant impact on the game and has displayed terrific finishing skills since. The 24-year-old came to Old Trafford from the Everton camp this summer and can turn into a long-term investment for Mourinho and Co.

Morata provided the impetus with the opening goal in an important away fixture against at Leicester City

Alvaro Morata won the Champions Trophy with Real Madrid last season. After coming to England to swap his white jersey for the Chelsea blue, the Spaniard scored 3 goals in 4 games.

Antonio Conte was initially apprehensive about starting with the 24-year-old and thus, his first start came against Leicester City last week. In spite of that, Morata impressed immensely in the short time-frame, especially with his linking up between the lines.
