‘Romelu Lukaku is inferior to Alvaro Morata’ – former Venezuela international

Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has received huge backing from Alejandro Moreno, a former Venezuela international and now football pundit.

Both strikers arrived at their respective clubs in the last summer transfer window in the midst the noise made about their futures.

Lukaku chose to join Manchester United despite strong interest from Chelsea, prompting Chelsea to seek a new striker from Real Madrid. The Blues landed Morata for a cut fee of £58 million while Lukaku was secured by Jose Mourinho’s United for over £75 million.

Alejandro, while speaking on ESPN says it was Chelsea who got a better deal in the transfer dealings, as he thinks Morata is more than just a goal scorer.

I said all along that I feel Morata has a lot more to his game than Lukaku does.

That doesn’t mean that Lukaku’s not going to score goals for Manchester United, which I have maintained all along, he will score those goals.

I just think Morata gives you more than Lukaku does.

Alejandro Moreno, Daily Express

Both players have scored six goals in the Premier League, with Morata being the first to score a hattrick for his new club.

His hat tick came against Stoke City last Saturday at the Bet365 stadium.
