ALVARO MORATA insists he doesn't see himself living in London for too long and reveals he would never have left Juventus if it was up to him.
The Spaniard has been red hot since joining from Real Madrid with seven goals so far this season.
But looks set to break the hearts of Chelsea fans by admitting he is only planning a short stay in the English capital. When asked how he was enjoying life in London, he told Gazzetta dello Sport: "I'm well. "I live central, nearly Chelsea — I really love the multiculturalism of London, the different cultures and religions all together, but I wouldn't stay here long-term. "It's too big, too much stress, too many zones." Before returning to Los Blancos, Morata had spent two seasons in Turin — and insists that, if he'd had his way, he would still be there. I had two fantastic seasons at Juventus. "I arrived a boy and left a real footballer. Italy, for a Spaniard, is the best country to live in. "There is everything - beauty, history, art, food, fashion. "I would never never have left Italy or Juventus." When asked why he returned to Real Madrid in 2016, he explained: "Because there were contractual obligations. "It was extremely disappointing for me — I found myself once again on the move. "Real Madrid treated me like the boy I'd been before spending two seasons at Juventus." Morata was signed at Juventus by Antonio Conte, before the Italian left to take over the national side.
And the Spaniard, 25, insists he's thrilled to finally played under the Blues boss — having come close to joining last summer.
He added: "I came here because Antonio Conte was here.
"We started talking about a potential transfer last summer and in the end I really did move to London.
"He's very excitable, but he cares about the finer details. You can tell he was playing at a massive club before going into management."
