Alvaro Morata has made a positive start to life as a Chelsea player, with the Spanish striker firing in eight goals in 15 games since arriving from Real Madrid in the summer. And the former Los Blancos star would like one of his former teammates to make the same move he did four months ago.
The Premier League champions have struggled in the early going, this term, losing three of their opening 11 games while also being embarrassed in the Champions League by Roma.
And one player who would undoubtedly alter the fortunes of Antonio Conte's men would be Real playmaker, Isco, who has gradually become one of Zinedine Zidane's most important players at the Bernabeu.

While speaking to Cadena Ser in Spain during the international break, Morata revealed that he wanted to bring the former Malaga man back to Stamford Bridge with him.

"I would take [Isco] to Chelsea now when I return [from the Spanish camp].
"But I think that right now he has one of the most important roles at Madrid. In the national team he is also key.

"I think he is unstoppable when he feels important. The whole world has seen it since he took the reins at Madrid.
"He is the most important player at Real Madrid and in the national team. He changes the games, he makes the difference. He dances with the ball. Furthermore, he is my friend."
However, given that Isco has become so integral to Zidane's plans at the Bernabeu and the fact the Spain international has a £600 million release clause in his contract, it's doubtful that we'll be seeing him at Stamford Bridge any time soon.
