Diego Costa does not want to smear his image at Chelsea after leaving for Atletico Madrid

Diego Costa has spoken of his delight at being able to return "home" to Atletico Madrid as he arrived in Spain to put the finishing touches on his move from Chelsea.

The two clubs announced on Thursday they had reached an agreement for the transfer of the 28-year-old Spain striker back to Atletico, with the fee reported to be in the region of £58m(€65.7m).

Costa, who made no secret of his desire to return to the Rojiblancos during his three years at Stamford Bridge, on Friday afternoon landed in Madrid from Sao Paulo to undergo a medical with Diego Simeone’s side and finalise his contract.
