# Chelsea, Arsenal & Spurs set for bidding war for Euro 2016 top-scorer

![Morata](https://cdn.footballtransfertavern.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/06/Morata-500x340.jpg)Fans from across the London divide in the Transfer Tavern are discussing the chances of their club landing a top signing this summer, after a move was confirmed that helps the trio of English clubs in their quest to sign a big name.

[*The Independent*](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-alvaro-morata-return-to-real-madrid-chelsea-spurs-manchester-united-a7094746.html)[states](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-alvaro-morata-return-to-real-madrid-chelsea-spurs-manchester-united-a7094746.html) Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are braced for a bidding war in the quest to land the services of Alvaro Morata, with it confirmed yesterday that Real Madrid have activated a buy-back clause in the striker’s contract with Juventus.

Morata currently tops the scoring charts at Euro 2016 alongside Gareth Bale, having hit a brace against the Czech Republic and scoring the opening goal in Spain’s defeat to Croatia last night, which has only raised the valuation of the 23-year-old.

[Real Madrid are expected to sell Morata on for a profit](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/transfers/arsenal-transfer-news-alvaro-morata-return-to-real-madrid-chelsea-spurs-manchester-united-a7094746.html), having spent £23.5m to bring him back from Turin, and the Premier League seems a likely destination, with a host of clubs eyeing the talented striker’s services.

[*The Times*](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/chelsea-boost-as-juventus-say-morata-will-return-to-real-madrid-0v5dc7xrj)[says Chelsea are leading the race for the player’s services](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/edition/sport/chelsea-boost-as-juventus-say-morata-will-return-to-real-madrid-0v5dc7xrj), although our landlord is questioning that claim due to the Blues lack of Champions League football.
