It hasn't taken Antonio Conte long to get over the disappointment of missing out on Romelu Lukaku.

Chelsea have broken their club record transfer fee to bring in Alvaro Morata in a deal that could eventually cost as much as £70million.

Given that the Blues and Manchester United have effectively swapped targets, there are no doubt going to be plenty of comparisons between the two strikers in the season ahead.

As for Conte, he can't waste too much time worrying about the Belgian.

All that matters is that he's finally found a replacement for the outgoing Diego Costa.

Costa's relationship with the manager has been beyond repair since their well-publicised bust-up in January and while he is yet to officially leave, it would be astonishing if he were still a Chelsea player in a few weeks time.

His international team-mate will now be tasked with replacing the 22 goals he scored last season.

So, on the face of it, the Blues have righted a major wrong and achieved their chief aim of the summer transfer window.

It almost goes without saying that their business won't stop there.

Who's next? 

Even if the Costa situation had never happened, it's likely that Conte would have brought in another striker.

Michy Batshuayi was awarded just the one league start last season, which suggests his boss doesn't have the utmost faith in him.

Money appears to be no object. The Morata deal follows the arrivals of Antonio Rudiger and Tiemoue Bakayoko and next up, they could have to fork out £30million for another striker.

Swansea's Fernando Llorente and Crystal Palace's Christian Benteke are the two men on their list, per the Independent, with the former their preferred option. 

Llorente is the preferred choice 

The Swans are proving themselves to be stubborn negotiators, and Chelsea would ideally like to bring the price down.

Llorente has been left out of the pre-season tour of the US, but that's because he's recovering from an injury sustained in a cycling accident on holiday.

Neither deal is likely to be straightforward.

It's thought that after a tough spell at Liverpool, Benteke is reluctant to become a back-up striker a year before the World Cup, even if it represented the opportunity of playing for a top club.

Who would be a better signing - Llorente or Benteke? Have your say in the comments.
