Chelsea supporters believe Alvaro Morata can compete with Tottenham’s Harry Kane.

Alvaro Morata scored a spectacular hat-trick for Chelsea at the weekend as his quick adaptation to the Premier League continued.

The Spanish striker signed from Real Madrid in the summer and appears a shrewd addition already.

His three goals helped Chelsea to an impressive 4-0 win away to Stoke, who had held Manchester United to a draw in their stadium just a fortnight earlier.

Morata has already won fans over, and supporters have created a chant for him, insisting he is better than rival Harry Kane.

Morata was thrilled with his hat-trick, and just as pleased to hear the travelling Chelsea fans signing his name.

He took to Twitter to thank supporters for the chant.

The support will mean a lot to Morata, after Chelsea manager Antonio Conte said soon after he signed him that the one striker he would really want was Harry Kane, SkySports reported.

Telegraph reported comments from Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino that Morata was not interested in signing for Spurs as he feared playing second fiddle to the England international.

Morata now has six Premier League goals this season, while Harry Kane has four.
