Alvaro Morata's agent has travelled to London on Wednesday to meet with Chelsea officials and discuss a potential January loan move to Sevilla, a source has told ESPN FC.

Juanma Lopez met Sevilla director Joaquin Caparros at the beginning of the week to sound out any potential deal following the former Real Madrid forward’s difficult start to the campaign, in which he has scored nine goals in 24 matches – starting just 18 games.

Caparros confirmed Sevilla's interest in Morata on Tuesday with an interview to the club's TV channel, as he explained their desire to sign at least one forward in this window to complement Andre Silva and Wissam Ben Yedder.

Sevilla are third in La Liga but are also competing in the Europa League and Copa del Rey and manager Pablo Machin tends to play a 3-5-2 system with two forwards.

Morata would welcome a return to Spain as he looks to relaunch his career following a difficult last 18 months.

Despite confirming Sevilla’s interest in Morata, Caparros said negotiations would be difficult due to the total fee – including the player’s wages – while Chelsea would likely need to sign a replacement before allowing the Spaniard to leave.

“It is true that we have monitored Morata’s situation but it’s also true that it’s a very, very complex operation because of the cost of the transfer,” Caparros said. (ESPN)
