Chelsea Transfer News: Latest Rumours, Elite Signings Reportedly Eyed by Blues

Chelsea are reportedly hoping to fend off Atletico Madrid's interest in re-signing Diego Costa by offering their star striker a new contract at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Fiorentina defender Nenad Tomovic is said to be on the Blues' wanted list.

According to the Mirror's Darren Lewis, Chelsea are eager to reward the Spain frontman for his prolific start to the season and are ready to hand him "lucrative" terms in order to keep Los Rojiblancos at bay.

Costa still has over two-and-a-half years remaining on the £150,000-a-week deal he signed upon moving to west London in the summer of 2014, but it appears even that isn't enough of a safety net for his employers.
