Chelsea star Alvaro Morata has reportedly told manager Antonio Conte to sign a former Barcelona man.

Spanish media outlet Don Balon claims that Morata has advised his Italian manager to got and get former Barcelona striker Sandro Ramirez.

​According to the report, Chelsea are looking to bring in a new forward in January as Conte is not convinced that the club’s current strike force is enough.

The former Juventus coach is not convinced by Michy Batshuayi, while Tammy Abraham is out on loan at Swansea City.

Conte tried to sign Llorente in the summer but was beaten to him by Chelsea’s London rivals Tottenham.

Ramirez, a good friend of Morata’s, joined Everton this past summer from Malaga for a reported fee of £5,2 million as the Toffees triggered his release clause.

Since then, Ramirez has featured 11 times for Everton across all competitions but is yet to score.
