Spain international Alvaro Morata has won four league titles in Italy and Spain, and two Champions League crowns

Chelsea have completed the £60m signing of Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata on a five-year-deal.

The Spain forward scored 20 goals last season after rejoining Real from Juventus.

The 24-year-old won La Liga and the Champions League, but the majority of his appearances were as a substitute.

Morata is the Blues' fourth summer recruit, after goalkeeper Willy Caballero, defender Antonio Rudiger and midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Morata will now join up with the squad on the pre-season tour of Asia.

Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo said: "We believe he can make a great impact for Chelsea and look forward to seeing him in action.

"Alvaro has proven class at the highest level and his quality will be a huge asset."
