Morata has made a fine start to his Blues career with seven goals and Wright-Phillips is impressed with the Spain striker’s quality.
He told 888sport: ”I wouldn’t say that Morata is in Didier’s space now but if he keeps scoring and running in behind and creating chances for others then he’s heading in that direction because he does the same things that Didier did.

Conte frustration

09:00: Graeme Le Saux believes Chelsea boss Antonio Conte will be frustrated by the timing of the international break after his side’s defeat to Manchester City.
Le Saux told Betfair: "Conte is probably a bit frustrated as he’d like to rectify what happened against City this weekend.
"If you have a performance like that where things don’t go your way, you’re always eager as a manager and as a team to correct it straight away.
"However, the international break does offer him a period of grace to assess how bad Morata’s injury is and hopefully get him back into the side as quickly as possible."
