Done Deal! ‘Arsenal Have Signed Alvaro Morata’ – Reports

By on May 28, 2014

Some interesting news circulating this evening with reports in Spain claiming that Arsenal have reached an agreement to sign Alvaro Morata from Real Madrid.

We have been strongly linked with Morata over the past 12 months and were reportedly close to signing him on a six-month loan deal back in January until Carlo Ancelotti vetoed the deal at the last minute.

However, it seems Wenger has kept in touch as Spanish source La Informacion is reporting today that the boss has in fact been in regular contact with the strikers father and representative, Juanma Lopez, since last summer and a deal has now finally been agreed to bring him to the Emirates this summer.

The report claims that Arsenal have been negotiating with Madrid and came to an agreement days before last weeks Champions League final, but the Spaniard’s have insisted on a buy-back clause which will be active for the next two years.

No fee has been mentioned in the report, but La Informacion does say that the buy-back option has ‘cheapened’ the deal for Arsenal and it should be officially announced within the next couple of days.

Morata decided to quit the Bernabeu due to a lack of first team opportunities as he started just 6 games last season, and if this report is accurate, the 21-year-old will now compete with Olivier Giroud up front at the Emirates next season.

It’s difficult to know how reliable La Informacion are but they did get the Ozil transfer correct last summer and don’t appear to be too ‘speculative’ with their transfer gossip.

Fingers crossed this turns out to be true as Morata would be a great signing. I’m not particularly happy about the idea of a buy-back clause though, as it leaves us vulnerable if the striker is a success in north London, but we’ll have to see what happens.

    If Arsenal goes to relegation next season, I will not for give Wenger becus all this year without trophy other club side respect Arsenal becus they neva go relegation before while other club has go but we are not prayin for that. Lets drop this issue of dat now, Arsene wenger should buy quality players like Sanchez Benzema Griezman or this are Quality striker not Morata other club has gone for quality players even small small club, why big team like Arsenal are talkin about small small players. Which is bad. I congratulate all my fans about this FA cup victory with God we are goin to make another next season. Up GUNNERs.

      Whilst not impossible, I think it unlikely that Arsenal will be relegated next season. You’re definitely a glass-half-empty sort of person, aren’t you?

    Morata z nt d kind of player to b calld upon wn tnx aren’t goin right fr d team. Thou might turn up a messaih in d near future. Arsene Wenger! Mou calld u a specialst in failure, u priority shld b to beat him Home n away cum nxt seasn while liftn d EPL. Morata z nt d kind of player to do ds. Di maria, Aurier, Griezman, Remy/Baloteli, Schnerderlin/Barry are better purchz.

    Nd u kadz hussain on my understanding it jst dat u dnt lyk morata but av u forgot dat since lukaku join chealsea he only score 5 to 6 goals but at west brom he score more dan 15 nd at everton more dan 20 nd even suarez wen he sign 4 liverpool he only score 17 goals for his former club ajax bt now more dan 50 4 liverpool. Nd i’m quiet sure morata wil shine in premier league cox he is young nd he got talent
