Álvaro Morata looks set to end his Chelsea nightmare with several reports indicating that he has agreed to join Atlético Madrid.

Stories in Goal, The Mirror and The Telegraph indicate that the Spanish striker will be heading back to his homeland after 18 months in the Premier League.

Goal say that the deal is initially for a six-month loan with Diego Simeone’s side then having the option to buy for €50m.

It’s thought that the transfer is just hours away from being official and will then open the door for Gonzalo Higuaín to sign from AC Milan.

Morata was plagued by injuries and bad form during his time in west London and scored just 24 goals in 72 appearances for the Blues.
