Diego Costa tells Atletico Madrid pals he's joining Chelsea

Diego Costa has told Atletico Madrid teammates he's agreed to join Chelsea. The Blues opened talks over a £32million move for Costa last night after meeting his release clause.

ESPN says Diego Costa has already told his Atletico team-mates he is off at the end of the season.

The move is unlikely to be confirmed before the Champions League final on May 24, but a preliminary agreement is close.
