Many Chelsea fans are not happy with Alvaro Morata after the 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium against Arsenal on Wednesday. Chelsea should have won the match by a margin of 5 goals but Morata squandered three one-on-one chances during the game that left even manager Antonio Conte visibly furious during the game.


The Spain international has been a revelation for Chelsea this season after his £60 million move from Real Madrid in the summer. He already has 10 goals to his name this season in the league and 12 goals from 25 appearances in all competitions.

But he can actually improve on his finishing.

The 25 year old conversion rate with his leg is very poor and at an alarming rate of 8%. Out of the 10 league goals he has this season, 6 of them are headed goals with a conversion rate of 37.5% while just 4 have been scored using his feet.

In fact, Morata‘s first three (3) goals and two (2) assists for Chelsea were with his head.

Last season at Madrid, the Spain international scored 20 goals in all competitions albeit been used as second choice to first choice striker, Karim Benzema. With the World Cup in sight, Morata made the move to Stamford Bridge for more first team opportunities and Antonio Conte has done well to provide that for him.

He is Chelsea’s main man now but he may end up costing them the title and a top 4 spot.
