Probably the best comparison of Morata. if he comes anywhere close to the level of Torres in his prime we will be doing very well.

Morata has far more to his game than Higuain. Higuain is still better in the box, but he's basically turned into only a penalty box striker for Napoli. Higuain doesn't run at defenders like Morata does, nor does he have Morata's pace, and ability to play out wide and track back and win the ball back. He also doesn't have Morata's "clutch" gene. He chokes in pretty much every big match he plays in.
Morata only has better nerves and tracks back to defend more. Higuain still has better link up and better finishing.
He does run at defenders and has some dribbling him. Its not Neymar or Suarez but its actually very similar to what Morata does.
Check it. The majority of his goals involve running at the defense with the ball, dribbling into space and then shooting.

I don't think his finishing is better at all this year. Higuain has taken 153 shots and scored 26 for Napoli. Morata has taken 75 shots and scored 12 for Juventus. That's right around 6 shots per goal for each of them. Almost identical. As is their goal per minute ratio, while Morata's assist per minute ratio is way higher.

The huge majority of goals in that video are finishes inside the box. Not running at defenders from midfield area. Most of them are either simple finishes of passes and crosses in the box, through balls received that put him through on goal, or Higuain making a move or two at the edge of the box and firing.
Very few of them are him running at defenders, dribbling into space, and then shooting.

Well yeah he is not Suarez. I am only saying that he is not a typical CF the way Mario Gomez was. Higuain's style and Morata's are close and he is the main striker at Napoli so he takes more shots.
What stops Higuain from being a world class player is his nerves not a lack of skill. Amongst the many differences between him and Benzema for instance is that the latter is no choker in Europe. Higuain is getting better in that regard but still too shaky in front of goal in Europe. Morata doesn't have that nerves problem and confidently took his chances against Madrid and in Serie A.
Higuain is a more rounded player and still at a higher level in terms of attributes but I think Morata can get there in a couple of years and morata has the advantage of having solid nerves barring some unforseen confidence crisis.
