Alvaro Morata says he can perform a lot better for Chelsea despite fine start

Club record striker Alvaro Morata is confident he can perform a lot better in a Chelsea shirt.

Morata is joint top scorer in the Premier League after finding the net six times in as many matches, which includes a hat-trick in the 4-0 win over Stoke on Saturday.

The Spain international joined Antonio Conte's side for an initial £58m from Real Madrid in July and Morata said: "I am happy with my start in the Premier League but I can do better.

"I had two chances at the end of the game against Stoke (but didn't take them). I also need to improve my physical condition to be as good as possible."

Chelsea take on Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday night before facing title rivals Manchester City three days later.

Morata added: "It's a very important week before the international break and we need to give our best for these two matches. We have a Champions League match now and we have to keep working."
