Alvaro Morata is expected to feature against Bayern Munich in pre-season

"Morata is a young player who has a lot of experience in his career because he played with two big teams in Real Madrid and Juventus," Conte said.

"He can have a big impact in the Premier League.

"It’s different if you compare it to leagues in other countries because it’s very tough and physically it’s strong, but Morata is ready to have a big impact."

Morata has flown out to Singapore to link up with his Chelsea team-mates ahead of their game with Bayern Munich tomorrow.

And Conte has admitted he is likely to give the Spain international a run out in the game against the Bundesliga champions.

"My plan is to give him the possibility to play part of the game," Conte added.

"But not from the start because he only arrived yesterday and started to work with us."
