The on-loan striker is increasingly making a case to earn a full transfer as he is proving to be an ideal strike partner for Cristiano Ronaldo.
Alvaro Morata was on target in Juventus’ 3-0 overpowering of Dynamo Kyiv on matchday 5 of the Champions League Group G.
Morata, before pushing defenders away and hitting a low shot into the back of the net, also played a part in the build-up to Cristiano Ronaldo’s milestone 750th career goal.
It was his sixth goal in this season’s competition – making him the top-scorer alongside Marcus Rashford and Erling Haaland.
The Spaniard also became the one to score most goals for Juve in the group stage since David Trezeguet also scored six in 2001/02.
A tally of nine goals and four assists in 12 games means the striker has enjoyed a strong return to Turin so far following a loan move from Atletico Madrid over the summer.
“Morata arrived very young at Juventus, he returned from his experiences in Madrid and London a more mature person and player,” Andrea Pirlo told Sky Sport Italia after the Dynamo Kyiv match.
“He feels happy and free of pressure, so that helps anyone give their best. We wanted him at all costs and are very happy to have him.”
