Diego Costa sets sights on silverware after completing £32million move to Chelsea
► Brazil-born striker signs five-year deal to tie him to Blues until 2019
► Chelsea triggered his £32million buy-out clause in his contract
► Costa helped Atletico to the La Liga title and Champions League final
Diego Costa has set his sights on more silverware after completing his move to Chelsea.
The Brazil-born striker helped Atletico Madrid clinch the La Liga title last season, while they were also beaten finalists in the Champions League.
Jose Mourinho failed to win a trophy in his first season back at Stamford Bridge, but Costa is confident he can help end the mini-drought in west London.
He said: ‘I am very happy to sign for Chelsea. Everybody knows it is a big club in a very competitive league, and I am very excited to get started in England with a fantastic coach and team-mates.
'Having played against Chelsea last season I know the high quality of the squad I am joining.
‘I would like to thank everybody at Atletico who made me into the player I am, it was an incredible time for me, but now I am starting a new adventure and I hope to win many trophies with Chelsea.’
Costa has long been linked with a switch to the Blues and the clubs agreed a fee early this month, with Chelsea meeting his buy-out clause reported to be worth £32million.
A statement on the club's website read: 'Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce Diego Costa has today completed his transfer from Atletico Madrid by signing a five-year contract.
'He will join up with the first team for our pre-season European training camp next week.'
