Alvaro Morata has passed a medical ahead of his move to Chelsea from Real Madrid, according to Sky Sports.
Morata is expected to join Antonio Conte’s squad in Singapore this weekend as they continue their preparations for the new Premier League season.
The 24-year-old told Sky Sports on Thursday that he was joining the “best club” after Chelsea had agreed an initial £58m deal with Madrid for his services.
“This is the best club,” Morata told Sky Sports News reporter Paul Gilmour upon arrival in London.
“Antonio Conte is one of the best coaches in the world and I’m so happy to work with Antonio.”
Morata, who only re-joined Madrid from Juventus last summer, scored 20 goals in 43 appearances last season as Zinedine Zidane’s side claimed a La Liga and Champions League double.
He will become Conte’s fourth major summer signing following the arrivals of Willy Caballero, Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko.
