Last summer, he joined Chelsea for a club record fee of £60m but has struggled and has scored only 11 Premier League goals this campaign, although he is the club’s second top scorer behind Eden Hazard.

With manager Antonio Conte looking likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer following numerous altercations with the board, the future of Morata and a number of other players could be thrown in to doubt so it’s no surprise to se Juve sniffing about.
