Alvaro Morata will join Chelsea subject to agreeing personal terms and completing a medical after Real Madrid agreed to sell the striker.
Chelsea and Real Madrid have agreed a deal for striker Alvaro Morata to join the Premier League champions.
The move is subject to Morata agreeing personal terms and completing a medical and is reported to be worth in the region of £70million.
The 24-year-old Spain international is set to arrive after the Stamford Bridge club missed out on re-signing Romelu Lukaku, who joined Manchester United from Everton for an initial £75m..
Torino forward Andrea Belotti and Borussia Dortmund striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were also among Antonio Conte's rumoured targets, with Morata initially said to have agreed to join United before they pounced for Lukaku.
Morata's arrival will ease concerns over any potential void left by Diego Costa, who has not travelled with Chelsea on their pre-season tour to China and Singapore after being frozen out of the first-team picture by Conte.
An expected move back to Atletico Madrid for Costa is complicated by Diego Simeone's LaLiga side being subjected to a FIFA player registration ban.
