Chelsea goalkeeer Thibaut Courtois insists that new club-record signing Alvaro Morata will shine at the club and backs the striker to score plenty of goals.

Morata completed his £60m move to Stamford Bridge from Real Madrid last week and made his debut for the club in a pre-season friendly with Bayern Munich. Chelsea lost the game 3-2, and Morata was introduced during the 60th minute – but the Spanish striker impressed when coming on and even made a slight assist for Michy Batshuayi who tucked away Morata’s flick from a corner.

Courtois has had a bit of time to watch Morata since he signed, and has said that the new man will be “dangerous” in the Premier League next season.

“I think he (Morata) just spent a few days with the team,” Courtois told Goal.

“He has to learn our way of playing but I think he came in very well.”

“He was dangerous. We saw some of his ability. So he is a very good striker and he will score a lot of goals for us.”

Morata seems to be impressing his team mates already during pre-season, but the Premier League is a different kettle of fish. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt to the pace and physicality of the English game – will he hit the ground running like his international team-mate Diego Costa did at the Bridge?
