Filipe Luis has talked up an Atletico Madrid return for former Chelsea teammate Diego Costa.

Luis and Costa both joined Chelsea in the summer of 2014, but the former left the Blues to return to the Vicente Calderon last summer while Atletico have tried to re-sign the latter in recent months.

"Costa is the player who gave me the most advice in my career, and I love him like a brother," Luis told Marca.

"We both know that our mutual love for Atletico is a common theme in our relationship.

"I have no doubts that he would be very happy here at Atletico.

"He has been the best No.9 in the world and can be the best again depending on what he does at his club.

"I always want him on my team, so hopefully I can get back to playing with him."
