Chelsea set for another raid on Atletico Madrid

Chelsea are set to raid Atletico Madrid for a second successive summer, according to the Express.

Almost twelve months ago, the Blues signed Diego Costa and Filipe Luis from the La Liga champions, while Thibaut Courtois returned to Stamford Bridge after a three year loan spell at the Vicente Calderon.

This time around, having been linked with moves for Koke and Antoine Griezmann over the past few weeks, the recently crowned Premier League champions are eyeing a bid for defender Toby Alderweireld, who has spent this campaign on loan at Southampton.

The Belgium international, who featured at last summer’s World Cup finals in Brazil, has made twenty-five appearances in all competitions for Ronald Koeman’s side so far this season, scoring his only goal in the 3-1 win at Crystal Palace on Boxing Day.

Having clinched the title on Sunday, Chelsea host Liverpool at the weekend with the home win priced at 21/20.
