Morata favours move to Arsenal
The Spain international looks set to leave Real Madrid this summer, and with his desire of playing Champions League football, the Gunners are leading the race over Chelsea.
Arsenal have moved ahead of Chelsea in the race to sign Real Madrid forward Alvaro Morata, according to the Daily Mirror.
Los Blancos exercised their buy-back clause in the strikers contract at Juventus, however they now look set to sell him on for a profit, with a host of clubs keen to sign him this summer.
Chelsea and Arsenal have been strongly linked with the 23-year-old, however he wants to play Champions League football, meaning that Antonio Conte's side is not an option.
On top of that, the Gunners are prepared to offer the Spain international a bumper contract, which includes £144,000-a-week wages, and would see him earning well over his current €4 million per year in Madrid.
