The Spain international initially started the season as second-choice at Stamford Bridge behind Olivier Giroud.

However, he has scored four goals in his last six Premier League appearances and has been rewarded by starting the last five games.

Mido admits he was a fan of Morata during his time in Serie A at Juventus.

If you want to win something, Morata shouldn’t be your first choice, that’s my opinion

Mido on Chelsea striker Alvaro Morata

However, he says the Premier League is too quick for him and reckons Chelsea need a better Plan A than the 26-year-old.

“He’s disappointing,” Mido said of Morata on talKSPORT.

“I watch a lot of football in Italy and to be fair to him at Juve he played very well.

“But in Italy the game is a little slower and he’s quick, so with his runs in behind defenders, and he’s a good finisher.

“But I just felt the other night [against Tottenham] that the Chelsea players don’t trust him.

“Many times he’s made his runs, but it’s like they feel that if they give him the ball he’s going to give it away.

“They have doubts about him.

“If you want to win something, Morata shouldn’t be your first choice, that’s my opinion.

“He’s good as a Plan B. He’s good if you plan to play direct and get long balls into the box.

“But to be the first striker at a club like Chelsea, you need to be like [Didier] Drogba and you need to have that trust from everyone around you.

“I don’t think he has that.”
