Diego Costa undergoes Atletico medical

Diego Costa's transfer to Atletico follows its course. As the time for the striker to put pen to paper edges closer, his dream is about to come true.

The 28-year-old underwent a medical examination at Aletico Madrid's training complex in Majadahonda. On his way out, he was mobbed by reporters interested in the results of his check-up, but Costa laughed as he pointed to his chaperone to say he was the one who was up to speed with everything.

Costa also confirmed that he will be at the Wanda Metropolitano to watch Atletico face Sevilla.

The former Chelsea man's fitness has been scrutinised following his exile in Brazil, but all seemed fine as this photo was taken moments before the medical tests got underway.
