The Spanish striker which has been heavily linked with a move this summer has revealed where he wants to play

Juventus striker Alvaro Morata has revealed his desire to succeed at his former club Real Madrid, but admits a Premier League move is tempting.

The 23-year-old is expected to leave Juventus this summer with Champions League champions Real set to exercise their buy-back-clause for the striker.

Tha Spain international has been linked with a move to Premier League sie Arsenal, although his dream is to be a success with the La Liga giants.  

"Clearly that is what I would like. That is my wish, to succeed in Madrid," he told AS.

"But in Madrid there are great players. And what I want is to play and feel important."

However, the goalscorer who found the net 15 times in the Serie A and 7 times in the Champions League since moving to the Italian champions, believes a move to the Premier League would also be a good choice. 

"There are some offers from England that are tempting, not only by contract," Morata said.

"I think for my characteristics the Premier League would also be a great destination.

"I'm saying a move to the Premier League would not be a step backwards. With what I have learned in Italy, if I have the chance to learn something more in England I think it would make me a more complete, better player.

"I'm 23 and all I want is progress, to play and learn from the best."

Real have Karim Benzema and are rumoured to be after Bayern's Robert Lewandowski, so does this mean a move to the Emirates is on the cards?
