Chelsea news: Alvaro Morata was always going to succeed at Stamford Bridge, says Claude Makelele
Morata joined Chelsea from Real Madrid in the summer transfer window for a fee that could rise to £70million.
The Spaniard scored six goals in his first seven Premier League appearances, including a hat-trick against Stoke.
Morata is set for at least a month on the sidelines though, after picking up a hamstring injury against Manchester City last Saturday.
But Makelele is still confident he will score plenty of goals for Chelsea, after proving his prowess at Real and Juventus.
