Torres is hoping the arrival of Cesc Fabregas will give him an added boost to his game
“I wish he could have joined us a couple of years earlier,” Torres told Spanish radio station Onda Cero.
“He is a blessing for strikers, he always looks to find that final key pass, he’s the type of player Chelsea don’t have.”
Meanwhile, Costa who has already undergone a medical ahead of a £32million move to the Blues, struck 36 goals in La Liga last term to help Atletico win the championship.
And Torres says he would welcome the competition up front at Stamford Bridge.
He added: “People have been saying for some time that Chelsea have signed a striker, and if it’s Diego, then it’s very welcome,” he added.
“The level of competition at big clubs should always be very high.”
