Alvaro Morata has urged Chelsea fans not to sing offensive chant that was heard during Saturday’s win 2-1 at Leicester.

Blues supporters unveiled their new song for Morata after he scored his third goal for Chelsea since his club record move from Real Madrid to open the scoring.

"Alvaro, Alvaro. He comes from Madrid, he hates the f****** Yids," sang Chelsea supporters at the King Power Stadium.

Morata personally tweeted to ask the fans to stop singing the offensive ditty.

Since I arrived, I have been able to feel your support every single day, you are amazing and I'd like to ask you to please respect everyone!

"Since I arrived, I have been able to feel your support every single day, you are amazing and I'd like to ask you to please respect everyone!" he tweeted.

Chelsea were also forced to plead with their fans to ditch an anti-Semitic song about the club's striker after they sang the offensive chant

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte was asked about the song and its anti-Semitic content at the post-match press conference but head of communications and public affairs Steve Atkins quickly stepped in.

"I don't think Antonio was aware of the song so if I can just speak on behalf of the club," Atkins said.

"The club and the players appreciate the fans' passionate support away from home, of course. But the language in that song is not acceptable at all.

"We've spoken to Alvaro after the game and he does not want to be connected to that song in any way and both the player and the club request that the supporters stop singing that song with immediate effect."

It is not the first time Chelsea fans have been caught making offensive chants in recent years.

Videos appeared on social media of some supporters singing anti-Semitic songs ahead of their FA Cup semi-final against Tottenham in April.

Chelsea fans also pushed a black commuter off a Metro train in Paris in February 2015 ahead of a Champions League tie.
