Chelsea manager Antonio Conte responds to Alvaro Morata's suggestion that he regrets leaving Juventus.

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has given his reaction to controversial quotes attributed to Alvaro Morata.

The Spanish striker seemed to suggest in an interview with an Italian publication that he regretted leaving Italy when he rejoined Real Madrid from Juventus in 2016.

The 25-year-old, who made the switch to Stamford Bridge from the Bernabeu in the summer, attempted to clarify his comments by insisting to reporters that he would sign a 10-year contract at Chelsea if it was offered to him.

During a press conference, Conte was asked about the striker's remarks, to which he replied: "I must be honest, I didn't read his interview. Steve (press officer) told me about it. Alvaro is a good person and is enjoying his time in London and playing with Chelsea, a great team.

"I know very well where he is living, it is the same building I lived. A lovely place and not so far from the training ground. Every time I have spoken with him he says he is very happy, with the experience for him and his wife.

"Last season I was alone without my family. When you work abroad it is good to have family with you. I enjoy my time. I enjoy London and this league, it is a fantastic experience for Alvaro and him in a tough league."

Morata has scored seven goals and produced three assists in 12 appearances in all competitions.
