Chelsea manager Maurizio Sarri has brushed off questions over Alvaro Morata, who he thinks is improving, and insists he cannot yet think about the January transfer window.

Olivier Giroud is Sarri's first choice up top for Chelsea and it has been suggested an unhappy Morata will look for the Stamford Bridge exit door in the new year.




But Sarri, who thinks Morata has upped his performances in recent weeks, is in no mood to think about what might happen when the transfer window swings back open in around ten weeks' time.

Sarri told a press conference: "I am not able to think about the market at the moment.
 


"I am completely focused on improving my team and my players.

"In the last month Morata has played better, and in the last three days I have seen him [do] very well in training."

Morata has managed only three goals in eleven outings, across all competitions, for Chelsea so far this season and Sarri has only handed him 363 minutes of Premier League football, out of a possible 630.

The Spaniard is under contract at Chelsea until the summer of 2022 and will turn 26 years old later this month.
