The Daily Mail have a cracker today for Chelsea fans here in the Football Transfer Tavern, as they claim that the Blues are leading the race for Diego Costa.
As our punters have told us time and time again, the club simply have to buy a forward this summer, and if they want to build a dynasty under Jose Mourinho, that is a must.
Mourinho himself is fully aware of just how good Costa can be, and during his time at Real Madrid was able to witness it first hand. Now it seems that the forward is not only at the top of his wishlist, but Costa himself is keen on the move.
Whilst Atletico Madrid are performing admirably, he knows that a move to Chelsea would be a huge step up, and the chances to win titles season in, season out would always be there.
The fact that the likes of Radamel Falcao have jumped ship and left the La Liga challengers shows that despite how good a manager Diego Simeone is, the lure of so called bigger and more vitally richer clubs will always be there.
Will Costa follow Falcao out of the revolving Atletico Madrid exit door? Let us know your thoughts below.
