Chelsea forward Alvaro Morata believes that new signing Mateo Kovacic could be something huge at Chelsea. Kovacic came to Chelsea on a season-long loan from Real Madrid this summer. Morata previously played with Kovacic at Real Madrid and the Spaniard is confident of linking up well with him.
Morata said on Chelsea’s official website, “Mateo, first of all, is an amazing person. He is a midfielder who is good with the ball, very technical. He’s a very good player which is very important for us because we need top players.”
When asked about how the new signing can benefit Chelsea, Morata said, “He can break through the lines with his quality, he can score goals and he has a lot of power in his legs. With him we will win a lot of possession and he has the ability to carry the ball into the final third and provide passes for the strikers.”
The Spaniard also said that Kovacic can help him improve at Chelsea. He said, “Yes, he gave me a lot of assists in Madrid. We enjoy playing together and I’m very happy to have him here. I think he’s one of the best midfielders in the world. I always try to help the new signings settle in, I remember when I first came here my team-mates helped me, and now it’s time for me to do the same.”
Chelsea play their first home game of the season against Arsenal at Saturday.
