Alvaro Morata: Altleico Madrid fans chant AGAINST Chelsea flop ahead of loan switch
Atletico Madrid fans have made their feelings clear towards Alvaro Morata by chanting AGAINST the Chelsea striker ahead of his loan move to the Spanish club.Morata, 26, arrived in Spain on Saturday night for a medical to complete his 9million, six-month loan switch to the LaLiga side.3

Alvaro Morata is set to join Atletico Madrid on loan

However, as he touched down, Atletico fans chanted ‘Menos Morata y mas Borja Garces’ during the second-half of their 2-0 win over Getafe – which translates to ‘Less Morata, more Borja Garces’.Garces, the 19-year-old Atletico academy graduate, has struggled for opportunities despite scoring on his first-team debut back in September. And he is set to fall further down the pecking order with the arrival of Morata, with fans beginning to fear Garces’ progression will be adversely affected.Morata also has history with Atletico – he started his youth career there before moving to bitter rivals Real Madrid.3

Atletico fans expressed their dissatisfaction on Saturday

Despite the frosty reception, Morata insists he cannot wait to start with his soon-to-be new club.“I am very happy and eager for this be a done deal so I can train with my team-mates,” he said as he touched down in Spain.3

The striker has struggled for form this season

Morata’s recent form will have done little to encourage Atletico fans – the striker has just five Premier League goals this season.He has looked desperately short of confidence and the arrival of Gonzalo Higuain at Stamford Bridge appears to have sealed Morata’s fate.However, should he rediscover his goal scoring touch, Atletico will have an option to make the move permanent for 48.5million.
