Meanwhile, Premier League champions Chelsea need to sign more players to improve squad depth for the new season, manager Antonio Conte said ahead of Sunday's Community Shield match against Arsenal at Wembley.
Chelsea ran away with the title last term in Antonio Conte's debut season at Stamford Bridge. "I'm sure about that".
Chelsea continue to be linked with big names like Virgil van Dijk, Alex Sandro and Antonio Candreva, but they took their time getting deals for the likes of Morata and Bakayoko over the line. It will be the most hard of my career as a coach.
Both Bakayoko and Hazard are also unlikely to be involved when Chelsea commence their defence of the Premier League title with a home game against Burnley a week on Saturday.
Conte said: "Only one player is not enough to improve our team". It won't be easy.
"It's very important to try to improve our squad, we have a small squad", Conte told reporters on Friday.

The statue was a gift from France commemorating its alliance with the United States during the American Revolution. She imagined it as a symbol of America's renunciation of conquest, empire, and pompous aristocracy.
"We have to wait and be patient. The player knew the decision, his agent knew the decision, clearly the lawyer has not been well informed", a spokesperson for the club said.
The Italian is not only anxious about the size of his squad, but is wary of the challenge Chelsea's rivals - Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham and Arsenal - will bring. There are recovering very well but they are not still ready to start the season.
"Everyone is trying to do their job but, for sure, I think this question is good for the club, not for me".
The Arsenal contest, which Hazard (broken ankle) and Bakayoko (knee) will miss, is a chance to start well. I think this group of players, Im very pleased to have them. "We want to play a good game with good intensity".
"After this season, I can reply to you in the right way". "Otherwise the number is always less and we are in trouble".
"We need more players with, not at the top level like Neymar, more like players to improve our squad, and our quality".
