Chelsea plot move for Diego Costa

Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa has emerged as a top target for Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho when the transfer window re-opens in January. 

The Portuguese manager remains keen on strengthening his strike force this season, having seen the likes of Fernando Torres, Demba Ba and Samuel Eto'o have poor starts to their season with the Blues.

Diego Costa, who has netted 8 goals in his first 7 league games for Atletico Madrid this season, scored the winner against rivals Real Madrid last weekend.


It will be interesting to see whether Costa will be lured to the Blues, with the offer of regular Champions League football up for grabs at one of Europe's top clubs.
