Real Madrid coach Mourinho will add Morata to 25-man squad

Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho has made his first signing of the summer.

Mourinho has promoted Alvaro Morata to his first team squad for preseason training and intends to add the youngster to his 25-man squad for the new campaign.

Originally a centre-forward, Morata flourished last season for the Castilla in a wide-left role after working closely with coach Alberto Toril.

Mourinho was impressed and now has pencilled Morata in as Cristiano Ronaldo's understudy in the senior squad.
