Frank Lampard has said he believes Alvaro Morata can help spur Chelsea urther in the Champions League than any other English team and has already answered the questions asked when he joined from Real Madrid.
“I think he has technically very good all-round centre-forward play and he’s a centre-forward who naturally finds himself in goal scoring positions. He knows the moves to make in the box and he’s always on the move.
“There were only two question marks for me at the start of the season: can he get to grips with the pace of the Premier League and can he be an outright No. 9 for a club the size of Chelsea?
“I think he’s shown he can on both fronts. It’s great to have him back in contention.”
“Manchester City and Manchester United have both got really strong squads, but Chelsea’s first XI can rival anybody,” he added.
“Manchester City are playing incredibly at the moment, as we all know. But I think the way Chelsea set up to go away in Europe and get results, which you have to do, especially in the latter stages — they have a really strong, organised team that can go and do the job.
“If they lose crucial players it will be tougher. But I do believe if they have a fit squad, they have a great chance of going as far in Europe as any of the English teams.”
