Thibaut Courtois is confident Alvaro Morata will prove a hit at Chelsea after seeing the Spaniard enjoy a positive debut for the club on Tuesday.

Morata completed a £58million move to Chelsea from European Champions Real Madrid last week, and was given his first outing as a Blues player when he was brought on in the 60th minute of the club's friendly with Bayern Munich in Singapore.

The striker couldn't get on the scoresheet, but did get an assist after flicking on Cesc Fabregas' corner which fell to Michy Batshuayi, who then fired in from close range although Chelsea still lost the game 3-2.

After working with Morata for the past few days, Courtois has said the striker will be "dangerous" in the Premier League next season and reiterated what he told Standard Sport earlier this week when he said the 24-year-old will hit the ground running at Chelsea.

"I think he (Morata) just spent a few days with the team," Courtois told Goal.

"He has to learn our way of playing but I think he came in very well," Courtois said to Goal after his team's loss to Bayern Munich in Singapore. "He was dangerous. We saw some of his ability.

"So he is a very good striker and he will score a lot of goals for us."
