The jury is out on this one.
On one hand he hasn't had a full season of starting role so we dont have a good measuring stick. However, he has done well when given minutes, has a built that can translate well into the PL, and has good technical abilities.
The big question is how well he will handle the pressure of being the main striker for a team looking to win the title. He certainly has the tools and abilities but that is not always a surefire.
The hesitation I always had with Morata was the price tag that came with this uncertainty. For the price being paid you would hope to get a surefire hit, especially considering we don't always buy and pay for high profile players. Chelsea can afford Morata to be a bust. We can't.
To be fair, Lacazette is not a a surefire hit either. He too has to prove that his game can translate to PL.
One question you do have to ask about Morata is that he is 24 years old and should be entering his prime. If he was really really good then why is he not replacing Benzema, who is getting up their in age as well? Maybe RM have been asking the same questions about Morata the ones I just asked.
