Chelsea seal Costa move

Spain striker Diego Costa has completed his transfer to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid, the English Premier League side announced Tuesday.
The Brazil-born forward had long been linked with a move to the London side and completion of the deal appeared to be imminent after the Blues said earlier this month they had met the buy-out clause for the 25-year-old, whose transfer transfer fee could be in the region of £32 million ($55 million, 40 million euros).
"Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce Diego Costa has today (Tuesday) completed his transfer from Atletico Madrid by signing a five-year contract," a statement from the London club said.
"He will join up with the first team for our pre-season European training camp next week."
Costa scored 35 goals for Atletico last season as they won the Spanish title and reached the Champions League final, only to lose in extra-time to city rivals Real Madrid after they had defeated Chelsea in the semi-final.
His desire to represent Spain, rather than Brazil, at this year's World Cup in his homeland backfired spectacularly as the reigning champions crashed out in the first round.
Costa joins former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas in moving from Spain to Stamford Bridge this pre-season.
"I am very happy to sign for Chelsea," Costa told his new club's website. "Everybody knows it is a big club in a very competitive league, and I am very excited to get started in England with a fantastic coach and team-mates.
