Atletico Madrid striker Alvaro Morata admits he's delighted having quit Chelsea.

After a miserable two seasons, that included just 24 goals, the striker was shipped back to La Liga in January joining Atletico on loan.

Scoring six in 15 games Morata then joined Diego Simeone's side permanently this summer.

He told La Otra Cronica: It seems like the obvious thing to say to gain points with the fans but my family and I were coming from a really bad time in London.

"Here we have regained our happiness.

Though many people may not believe it, we spent four or five summers wanting to come to Atletico. I am very happy."
