Morata linked with shock West Ham loan move

Misfiring Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata is being linked with a shock loan move to West Ham.

According to Transfer Market Web, the player could be made available for loan during the January transfer window.

The report claims that Atletico Madrid, Milan, Borussia Dortmund and the Hammers all tracked the player over the course of the summer and could now move for the striker once again.

Morata has fallen out of favour at Chelsea and is now behind Olivier Giroud in the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

Maurizio Sarri is said to be concerned by the player’s early season form and may look to move in on.

The Spanish international has struggled for confidence since joining the London club from Real Madrid.

Morata was heavily linked with moves away from Chelsea during the summer, with Juventus and Milan interested in signing him, but he remained at Stamford Bridge.

The reliability of the report is being questioned, but the signing of Morata would certainly be considered as a coup for the Hammers.
