The versatile young attacker has impressed Jose Mourinho with his performances for Real Madrid Castilla in their promotion to Segunda Division.
Jose Mourinho is set to break his precedence for foreign imports with Real Madrid youth academy graduate, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Álvaro-c5280 Morata.
The 19-year-old was a key player in the reserve side’s promotion to the Spanish Segunda Division, scoring 17 goals in 37 league appearances, despite the fact that he was not deployed in his natural central forwards role.
The tally of 17 goals is a slight improvement on his showings in the preceding edition of the competition where he hit the back of the net 15 times in 28 outings as a hitman.
Over the course of the season, he played all across the frontline for Castilla, playing as a centre forward, an inside left forward, and as a deep lying forward behind preferred choice, Joselu.
Morata is set to follow in the footsteps of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 Gonzalez of late and Jose Callejon as Real Madrid youth academy forwards wearing the first team jersey.
It has been reported that Jose Mourinho is impressed by the versatility of the Madrid born youngster. The Special One can deploy him on the wing or in the centre in his 4-2-3-1 formation and will reportedly give him a run-in with the first team as they start
their pre-season preparations.
Speculations in Madrid sporting circles suggest that Morata’s name has been inked in the list of players that will travel to Los Angeles with Los Blancos senior squad.
It will be the youngster’s second tour to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/America-c38390 after travelling with the first team as a 17-year-old prodigy. However, it is believed that Mourinho is willing to give him a taste of things to come his way in the current tour.
The youngster will have to force his way into the first team squad if he wants to be a success at the Santiago Bernabeu given the intense competition for places in the dressing room.
Morata, who will be 20 in October, has time on his side and will have to impress with Castilla in the Segunda Division to push his career trajectory.
