Alvaro Morata only signed a five-year deal at Chelsea last summer after joining from Real Madrid but the club-record signing endured a tricky maiden season in English football.

It appears as if the Spaniard struggled with the expectation of being a major club's main striker for the first time as well as finding it tough to adapt to the way of life and style of football in this country.
