GOLDEN BOOTS

MORATA AIMS TO KICK HIS BLUES INTO TOUCH

ALVARO MORATA wants to compete for the Golden Boot this season – but would rather see Chelsea win the league again.

The £58million striker (left), who faces Manchester City in tomorrow’s Community Shield, is now settled after a troubled first year in England. He said: “For me I prefer to score 10 goals and take the trophy. I want to win the Golden Boot but in England in the last year

FROM BACK PAGE the Golden Boot winner didn’t take any trophies.”

That award went to Liverpool’s Mo Salah, with 32 Premier League goals. Morata finished with 11.

The Spain international – who has changed his shirt number to 29 to mark the day on which his twin sons were born last month – pledged his commitment to Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia and new boss Maurizio Sarri (above) on his return from his summer break.

“On the first day of pre-season I spoke with the director and the manager and I said, ‘I want to stay at Chelsea’.

“They told me, ‘We have a lot of confidence in you and we want you to stay too’. “So everything was perfect. “All the people said I wanted to leave, that I was not happy in London, but it’s not true.

“Now I’ve taken another house, a bigger one, near to Cobham. My wife is very happy. “When everyone is talking about the possibility of me leaving I am here looking for a house. So the story is finished and I can’t wait for Sunday’s

game.”
