# 24-year-old speaks out after latest Chelsea announcement

***The Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern are still celebrating after their side’s latest [announcement](https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/07/morata-transfer-agreed.html)…***

After months of speculation and weeks of disappointment, on Wednesday is was [confirmed](https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/07/morata-transfer-agreed.html) that Chelsea had finally solved their striker problem. Subject to a medical and personal terms, Alvaro Morata looks set to move to Chelsea this summer after the Blues [agreed a fee](https://www.chelseafc.com/news/latest-news/2017/07/morata-transfer-agreed.html) with Real Madrid for the forward.

It’s a move that has generated a lot of excitement in the Transfer Tavern, and it appears as though it’s not only the fans that are looking forward to it – as Alvaro Morata himself has since opened up on the move.

[According to Marca, he said yesterday](https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2017/07/19/596fb701268e3e2c418b4611.html): “I am very happy, God willing, tomorrow \[Today, Thursday\] I will be at Chelsea, a club that has always loved me”.

He [elaborated](https://www.marca.com/futbol/real-madrid/2017/07/19/596fb701268e3e2c418b4611.html): “I’ve won four titles here \[at Real Madrid\], but now I only think of putting on the Chelsea shirt”.

Indeed, the Chelsea fans in the Transfer Tavern can’t wait for him to put on a Chelsea shirt either, as they’ve been very excited by what they’ve seen from the Spaniard on the big screen over the last few hours. A player with excellent acceleration, a real physical presence and an eye for a goal – our landlord thinks that he has the potential to be the perfect forward for the Blues.
