Atletico Madrid keen to end Chelsea striker Diego Costa to Saudi Arabia

Chelsea striker Diego Costa is set to be on the move to Saudi Arabia.

The Daily Mail says he could be heading to Al Hilal when he completes his £53million move to Atletico Madrid.

The controversial striker is back in the Spanish capital and watched his former club in the Champions League last night as a return edged closer.

But Costa could be shipped out to Saudi club Al Hilal on loan as he cannot play until January.

Los Rojiblancos hope to conclude a deal in the coming days that allows Costa to train with the Diego Simeone's squad and be fit and raring to go when the club's transfer embargo is lifted.
