Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is inching closer to a move to Chelsea after passing a medical on Wednesday.

The Blues have already met the £32million buy-out clause in Costa's contract, with personal terms now to be discussed.

Costa smashed 36 goals in 52 games this campaign as Atletico clinched the La Liga title and finished runners-up in the Champions League.

Jose Mourinho has seen first hand what the 25-year-old can do after he scored in Atletico's 3-1 win at Stamford Bridge in April.

Brazil-born Costa has been included in Spain's squad for this summer's World Cup.
