Diego Costa is all set to sign on the dotted line for Chelsea.

Costa is set for a ÂŁ32 million move to Chelsea, after passing his medical yesterday evening.

The striker is on international duty with Spain’s World Cup squad, with Mourinho finally getting the man that he has craved for some-time now.

Mourinho has targeted Costa due to his suberb ruthless presence in the area, after mannerism which guided Atletico to a La Liga title win, and to a Champions League final.

Costa scored 27 League goals for Atletico, and Mourinho feels that he can guide the side to silverware next season, after the Blues finished four points shy of Manchester City last season.

The Costa deal could create a domino effect, with Romelu Lukaku and Thilbault Courtois linked with a move to Atletico.

Lukaku impressed during loan spells at West Bromwich Albion and Everton, scoring 25 goals in the two spells.

This is seen as a proposed swap deal, also involving Belgian keeper Courtois, who is regarded as one of the finest young shot stoppers in the world.
