Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata has clarified reports from Italy saying he did not see himself living in London "for very long".

Speaking to the press before Tuesday's Champions League match at Roma, the former Real Madrid said that he was referring to the fact that he will not be staying in London when he retires.

"I'm really happy here and enjoying London with my wife," he said.

"When I finish my career, I prefer to come back to my country. I prefer the place where I was born, that's normal. When I say London is a stressful city, I'm talking about the traffic and a lot of people. It's an incredible city."

The 25 yearl old striker has scored 7 goals in 13 games since his club record £60m move from Real Madrid on a five-year deal in the summer.

"If Chelsea proposed 10 years, I'd probably sign it," he said. "I'm happy with everything. If I make good and improve, I can stay here more than five years."
