Goal claims that Chelsea and Atletico Madrid reached an agreement today and Los Rojiblancos will onboard Morata straightaway on loan with the option of making the deal permanent for £48.5 million.

This is a major step for Chelsea in their pursuit of Gonzalo Higuain. According to Calcio Mercato, Gonzalo Higuain is closer than ever to securing a move to Chelsea.

It had come to light 4 days ago that Chelsea, AC Milan and Juventus had agreed on a deal for Higuain with the Argentine currently serving the Rossoneri on loan.

Yesterday, Gennaro Gattuso confirmed in a press-conference that Higuain wants to join Chelsea. The deal will be finalized as soon as AC Milan find a replacement for Higuain.
