Paul Merson believes Alvaro Morata would be a better fit for Chelsea than Manchester United
Morata has been heavily linked to Chelsea and Manchester United, with reports saying United are prepared to spend big to get him over to Old Trafford.
Most reports however are saying that Morata has reportedly agreed terms to join Manchester United, with Romelu Lukaku closing in on a deal to join Chelsea.
But Merson believes Morata should go to Stamford Bridge and Lukaku would be better off going to United.
“I would say Morata is a better fit than Lukaku for Chelsea,” Merson told Sky Sports.
“I think he is a better all-round footballer. Lukaku is a goalscorer and if you look at the stats, the running and the sprints are nowhere near in the same league as Costa.
“Morata has played with world-class players at Madrid and Juventus and he’ll be there for the little flick around the corner from Willian or Eden Hazard.
“You have to be bright and lively to play for Chelsea and those teams. My worry would be if Lukaku gets there, would he be on the same wavelength as those players? If he isn’t it will keep on breaking down.
“I think Morata fits them better and I think Lukaku fits Man Utd better, where he would go and hit the ground running.”
