Chelsea Football Club have officially announced the signing of striker Diego Costa from Atletico Madrid for £32million.
The Spaniard has signed a five-year deal at Stamford Bridge and has been speaking to the club’s official website ahead of his transfer, despite the deal being known last month.
Costa said: ‘I am very happy to sign for Chelsea. 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. Having played against Chelsea last season I know the high quality of the squad I am joining.
‘I would like to thank everybody at Atletico who made me into the player I am, it was an incredible time for me, but now I am starting a new adventure and I hope to win many trophies with Chelsea.’
The 25-year-old helped guide Atletico to a La Liga title in his last season there and he will now join up with his new team-mates ahead of their pre-season tour.
