Chelsea underperforming Striker and Spain International, Alvaro Morata has gotten another opportunity to perform for the Blues tonight.

Owing to the fact that, he will be the one leading the Blues squad tonight at the forefront as they take on PAOK in Greece in the Uefa Europa League.

Coach, Sarri Maurizio decided to give him another opportunity despite the fact that he has not performed at all for the Blues in 4 of five games in the English Premier League this season.

Morata so far this season has just a single goal to his name, which defines his poor performance.

It is believed that if the Spain international refuses to perform tonight at Greece, he might lose his playing chances to France international, Olivier Giroud.

And should this happen, Alvaro Morata will have to look for another football club where he is likely to get more playing chances.

This is because he has the desire to make the Spanish national team but if he doesn’t play regularly at the club level, there is no way he will be called up to join the national team.

A report has disclosed that Alvaro Morata agents are already making arrangements that will see the Spain star move to West Ham on loan or to Italy in the January transfer window.
