Arsene Wenger thinks Alvaro Morata is ‘less of a goalscorer’ than Diego Costa.
The Spain international became Chelsea’s record signing after joining in a £70 million deal from Real Madrid last month.

And as Costa is no longer part of Contes plans, It looks as if Morata is required to step up, however, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger doesn’t think Morata has what it takes to fill Diego Costa’s goalscoring boots.
But to be fair he does think Morata will create more chances and still expects Chelsea to challenge for the title next season
‘They look like they have kept the basis of the squad,’ Wenger said of Chelsea.
‘They have added Bakayoko who is a very strong player. Similar to [Nemanja] Matic but more of an impact player.
‘They have replaced Costa with Morata – maybe less of a goalscorer than Costa but he can create more.
‘I expect them to fight for the title.’
