Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is confident that £70m summer signing Alvaro Morata will "score a lot of goals" for the club.

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois has backed new arrival Alvaro Morata to "score a lot of goals" for the club following his £70m move from Real Madrid.

The 24-year-old was brought in as a replacement for Diego Costa - who has been told that he is surplus to requirements by the club - and made his debut as a second-half substitute during Tuesday's 3-2 pre-season friendly defeat to Bayern Munich.

The Spain international was unable to find the back of the net during his brief cameo, but Courtois believes that it is only a matter of time before he gets on the goal trail.

"I think he has only spent a few days with the team. He has to learn our way of playing but I think he came in very well. He was dangerous. We saw some of his ability. He is a very good striker and he will score a lot of goals for us," Courtois told Goal.com.

"We didn't start as well in the first half. I think the three goals were a bit too easy. But after that in the second half we got a bit better. We scored two goals. We came back better but the first half was not good enough from us."

Morata scored 20 goals across all competitions for Madrid last season and ended the season with the second-best goals-per-90-minutes ratio in La Liga behind only Lionel Messi.
