CONTE WANTS AGGRESSIVE MORATA, HOLDS NO GRUDGE AGAINST DIEGO COSTA

The Blues boss thinks that his new frontman is a good signing for his side but he wants to teach him to add more aggression to his game

Antonio Conte has lauded "good guy" Alvaro Morata by saying that he is the sort of man you would allow your daughter to marry, but went on to say that he wants the young forward to add aggression to his game in the coming season.

Morata came in to replace Diego Costa over the summer and doesn't quite match up with his counterpart when it comes to aggression. Costa had been close to exiting Stamford Bridge for a while but his transfer to Atletico Madrid, which sees him move in a £58 million deal, was finally announced on Thursday.

Chelsea had already moved on to using Morata as their main striker ahead of the announcement, and Conte revealed that he was involved in the signing of the 24-year-old but that he also wants to see him develop further at the club.

“I know Alvaro well, he’s a really good guy, a good person,” Conte said. “I think he’s a good signing for Chelsea because Alvaro is only 24-years-old. I like him because he’s a complete player and also he has a lot of room to improve in every situation.

“Tactically, physically, technically, he’s very committed during the training sessions, his behaviour is always fantastic. He is a very polite player, I like this, also I like that he’s a good finisher, he feels the goal in every moment.
