Alonso sees Diogo Costa as 'final piece' as Chelsea weigh up release clause

Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso has made signing a new goalkeeper his priority and has identified Porto's Diogo Costa as the 'final piece of the puzzle', according to Mirror Football.

The report claims Chelsea are considering triggering the release clause in Costa's contract to bring the Portuguese stopper to Stamford Bridge.

Costa would arrive as a marquee signing for Alonso's new-look Chelsea, with the club expected to be active in the transfer market this summer.

A move is not yet complete, and it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will pay the required fee. For now, fans can keep an eye on related match highlights here on our site.
