Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa has completed a medical examination with a view to joining Premier League giants Chelsea, according to reports in the British media on Wednesday.
The BBC and The Guardian both claimed that the Brazil-born player, who is currently preparing for the World Cup with Spain in the United States, is now close to completing a move to Stamford Bridge.
Costa, 25, is expected to cost Chelsea around £32 million.
The rugged centre-forward scored 27 league goals and eight Champions League goals last season for Atletico, who won La Liga and were beaten 4-1 by Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Lisbon.
He notably scored from the penalty spot during Atletico's 3-1 Champions League semifinal victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Costa began his European career with Portuguese club Sporting Braga and initially joined Atletico in 2007.
