Morata's switch to Chelsea hasn't really gone to plan, to say the least. The Spaniard looks short on confidence and a shadow of his former self. The clinical poacher's instincts that made him a fan favourite super-sub at Madrid and lethal striker at Juventus seems to be lost under pressure at Stamford Bridge.

Morata made a bright start to life in London scoring nine in sixteen before a back injury against Manchester City derailed his career. Following his return, he looked like a completely different player. He started missing chances that he'd bury over and over again and lost his spot to Giroud too for a while last season.

Sarri's arrival breathed new life into Morata's career at Chelsea as Giroud was just too slow for his fluid, fast-paced 'Sarri-ball' but Morata just isn't the same. Chelsea has struggled whenever he's been in the lineup because of the lack of goals, putting a lot more pressure on the likes of Hazard, Willian and Pedro to put the ball in the back of the net.

A move would be better for everyone involved. Morata is still young and needs time to develop and get his mojo back and a less stressful club and then look to make the step up again. Morata has always performed well with a strike partner or someone to share the goal scoring load with. Back at Madrid, it was with Ronaldo and Benzema, at Juventus it was with Tevez and Mandzukic.

A move to a club with lesser pressure might just do the trick for the former Madrid man as he looks to establish himself as the elite striker he was earmarked to be.
