Diego Costa completes move to Atletico Mineiro nine months on from his abrupt Atletico Madrid exit as former Chelsea man 'pens one-year deal worth £40,000-per-week' at Belo Horizonte outfit

Diego Costa has completed his free move to Brazilian side Atletico Mineiro, with the former Chelsea striker finally landing a new club nine months on from his abrupt Atletico Madrid exit.

Costa, 32, has been a free agent since Atletico Madrid terminated his contract six months before its expiration date last December, with the Spaniards citing 'personal reasons' for the move.

Following the termination of his contract, Costa was allowed to join any side as a free agent and was linked with several clubs, including Arsenal and Juventus.
