Chelsea boss Antonio Conte insists it's unfair to compare Alvaro Morata with Tottenham ace Harry Kane.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino claimed this week that Morata was hesitant about moving to White Hart Lane two years ago because he was worried about competing with the England international for a place in the starting XI.
When asked if Morata is at the same level as Kane, Conte said: "I can't reply to this question because Kane played in the English league and Morata played in the Spanish and Italian leagues. After this season, I can reply to you in the right way."
Pochettino's comments implied Morata has a confidence problem, but Conte has dismissed the notion.
He added: "I don't know about this situation (Morata's reasons for not joining Spurs). But I think Morata is a really good player and he can compete with every striker in the world to try to play.
"He is a young player and my task is also to help him improve, to exploit his quality because I know he has great quality and my task is this – to improve his quality to become one of the best strikers in the world."
