Alvaro Morata pushed for a switch away from Chelsea and sealed off a miserable 18-month loan spell with a move to Atletico Madrid.

Morata may have enraged some Madridistas by moving to the city rivals but he is delighted with the move terming it as a dream come true. He rose from the youth ranks of Atletico Madrid but started his professional footballing career with Real Madrid C.F.

Atletico Madrid in the current circumstances were desperate for a striker to pair up with Antoine Griezmann up front and Morata will add to their attacking options with Diego Costa recovering from foot surgery and Nikola Kalinic having only scored twice in the league this term.

The Spaniard has already proven himself in Spain with Real Madrid and knows the league inside out which is something that will definitely work in his favour.

Los Rojiblancos hope Morata starts firing if they are to keep the title race alive and the former Chelsea star can turn his average season into something special with both parties benefiting from this move.
