#1 Chelsea close in on Atletico Madrid duo

Chelsea are confident of announcing the £35 million purchase of Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa before the start of the World Cup. The Blues’ deal for the 25-year-old is virtually completed, but the player’s medical has been delayed by his hamstring injury.

Costa, who has been included in Spain’s 23-man squad for the World Cup, is said to have returned to training and is expected to have a medical later this week. Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid left back Filipe Luis’ switch to Stamford Bridge has edged closer after the La Liga champions had an offer of close to £8 million accepted for Granada left back Guilherme Siqueira.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho is keen to replace the departing full back Ashley Cole with the Brazilian Filipe Luis, who will cost around £19 million.
