Morata: I want to be the first Spaniard to win the league title in England, Italy and Spain
Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has said that he wants to create a small slice of history at the club by becoming the first Spaniard to win the league title in England, Italy and Spain.
Morata has won a domestic league title in each of his past three seasons as a player, doing so in back-to-back years with Juventus before helping Real Madrid dethrone Barcelona in La Liga last term.
Chelsea’s club-record signing has now set his sights on achieving glory at Stamford Bridge too, although he admits that it will be a “challenge” with the Blues already nine points adrift of Premier League leaders Manchester City.
“I would never regret joining a club a club like Chelsea and hopefully I will be a long time at Chelsea,” he told Marca.
“You should never have regrets in life, all the steps that I have taken in my career have served for something and I have learned from them. I won in Italy, I won at Real Madrid and I felt important. Now I have a challenge ahead of me to be a champion in Spain, Italy and England.
“One or very few Spaniards have achieved that and that is my goal. To win the Premier League and be the Spaniard that has won in three different countries.”
Morata has scored eight goals in 13 games since joining Chelsea during the summer.
