Thibaut Courtois was impressed by Alvaro Morata’s first outing for Chelsea against Bayern Munich and expects the Spaniard to score a ‘lot of goals’ for Antonio Conte’s side.
The former Juventus forward, who joined from Real Madrid this summer in a deal expected to rise to £70million, came off the bench against the German giants and provided an assist for Michy Batshuayi.
While it’s early days for the 24-year-old, there were positive signs in his 27-minute cameo, including his flick on that allowed his Belgian team-mate to tap home late on in a 3-2 defeat.
Courtois, who started in goal for the Blues against Bayern, admitted he was pleased with the impact Morata made and insists he’s expecting big things from the new frontman.
‘I think he (Morata) just spent a few days with the team,’ Courtois told Goal.
‘He has to learn our way of playing but I think he came in very well. He was dangerous. We saw some of his ability.
‘So he is a very good striker and he will score a lot of goals for us.’
