Arsenal fans are not convinced by Álvaro Morata. His performance in the first half of Spain's Euro 2016 opener against the Czech Republic did not win over the Gunners faithful, with the London club still in the race for his signature which may cost as much as much as €60 million. Arsenal fans do not see Morata as an improvement on Giroud:
Prior to this tournament, Morata and Lukaku were valued at £50m+. Neither have shown a hint of being worth anything near that.

On that performance, Morata isn't worth £15m, let alone £50m.

Morata is just a Spanish Giroud #SPACZE #spain #afc

On that 62 minutes from Morata, Vardy definitely the better option for 1/3 of the price. #afc
