Besiktas are launching a late bid for Chelsea striker Diego Costa.

Okdiario pundit Eduardo Inda reports Besiktas are making a late move for the wantaway Spain international.

Turkey's transfer window doesn't close until Friday and Besiktas would be willing to take Costa on-loan to January.

The deal would see Chelsea send Costa to the Turks on-loan before selling him to Atletico Madrid when the winter market opens in the New Year.

Atletico remain eager to sign the striker, but want him playing consistently before he joins after Christmas.
