Juventus centre forward Alvaro Morata has claimed that the idea of moving to England is an exciting one and that he would like to play football in the Premier League.
Arsenal, as well as fellow English side Liverpool, are thought to be keen on a move for the Juventus striker and his recent comments are sure to hand them a huge boost in their efforts to sign him.
The 23-year-old centre forward signed for Juventus from Real Madrid in 2014 and the Spanish giants still have a buy-back clause that they could activate in the summer if they wanted. However, it seems as though that route is not what Morata is interested in as he is enticed by the idea of playing in Germany or England.
Arsenal are looking to sign a top-class striker in the summer due to their failings in front of goal this season and it looks like Morata could be that man.
Speaking to Marca, as reported by the Daily Mail, Morata admitted his admiration for the English league.
I am happy in Italy but Germany and England are both countries where my style of football could be better suited.
I like the Premier League a lot because of the way football is played there. It’s more attractive for a striker because it is not as tactical as in Italy.
Italy is a great place to learn your trade but it is the worst country for a striker to try to shine in.
I am not used to having to run almost 14 km in a game – they are the numbers of a midfielder. But all this is serving me well for my future.
