Chelsea are close to agreeing a deal for Alvaro Morata to join Atletico Madrid on loan, Sky Sports News understands.

Maurizio Sarri has said Morata told him in December that he wanted to leave Stamford Bridge after he failed to secure a regular starting berth at the club.

Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in July 2017 but has scored just 24 goals in 72 appearances and now looks set for a return to La Liga after Gonzalo Higuain completed his loan move to the west London club from Juventus on Wednesday.

Chelsea are also in talks for Victor Moses to join Fenerbahce on loan.
