ARSENAL TO LAUNCH £50M MORATA BID

Arsenal are ready to bid for Chelsea and Manchester United target Alvaro Morata this summer, according to a report in The Sun.

The Real Madrid striker has grown frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities in Spain and is looking to leave, with Antonio Conte's Blues leading the chase.

However, Arsene Wenger is willing to sanction a £50m bid as he prepares for the possibility of having to replace Alexis Sanchez, who looks increasingly likely to leave the club.
