Morata made the club-record move from Real Madrid over the summer, coming in as a replacement for Atletico Madrid-bound Costa.

The Spaniard has hit the ground running in London, with six goals from his first eight Premier League games and another in the Champions League.

Hazard has hailed his new teammate’s ability.

The Belgian was asked about Morata and told Chelsea’s website: “He’s a top striker.

“When good players play together, they don’t need to train two years.

“When we are on the pitch, we can see the movements he does and his technical ability is good too.

“So, with Alvaro – and, before, with Diego as well – it’s good.”

“I try to have a good connection with my striker because, in my position, it’s good to have this player who is like a target man, so I need a good connection with him.”

This time last year, Chelsea were four games into what would become a 13-game Premier League winning run.
