Alvaro Morata has dismissed reports he is unsettled in London.
The striker, who joined Chelsea from Real Madrid during the summer, recently appeared to suggest to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport that he would not stay at Stamford Bridge for long.
In an interview ahead of Chelsea’s Champions League clash with Italian side Roma, Morata was quoted as saying that he found it “stressful” in the English capital.
However, speaking at a news conference in Rome on Monday evening, he insisted he was happy at the club and might be willing to stay for a decade if he had the chance.
He said: “We have a problem of understanding in this interview. If Chelsea proposed to me 10 years I would probably sign it as I am happy at the club, I am happy with the city and everything in London.
“I really like London and, if I improve, probably I can stay here for more than five years.”
Blues boss Antonio Conte also insisted the player is settled in London.
“Every time I have spoken with him he has said he is very happy with this fantastic experience for him and his wife,” Conte said.
