Alvaro Morata is faced by a new challenge in his career with the chance to become the first footballer to win the Premier League, La Liga and the Serie A, something that has only been managed by Jose Mourinho.

Having spoken to 'Marca' earlier this week, the Spaniard made his intentions in England very clear. "I won in Italy, I won at Real Madrid and I felt important. Now I have a challenge ahead of me to be champion in Spain, Italy and England. None or very few Spaniards have achieved that and it is my goal. To win the Premier League and be the Spaniard that has won in three different countries," he said.

In fact, no players have ever completed such an astonishing feat and the Madrid-born striker now has the chance to pursue his goal having joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in the summer.

The only person who has managed to lift all three coveted titles is old friend Jose Mourinho. The current Manchester United boss won the league at Inter Milan, Chelsea and Real Madrid. Stuff of legends.

Other players have managed to win three league titles, such as Beckham (Premier League, La Liga and Ligue 1), Ibrahimovic (Serie A, La Liga and Ligue 1) and Robben (Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga), but never all three domestic championships in England, Spain and Italy. Alvaro Morata has the chance to do so and go down in the record books.
