Unsettled Chelsea striker Diego Costa could reportedly be heading to Saudi Arabia side Al Hilal when he completes his £53million move to Atletico Madrid.

The move is said to be the Spanish international’s way of putting pressure on the Blues to hurry along a deal.
Costa has been AWOL from Stamford Bridge and he has been accumulating fines by the club in the process.
The former Atletico Madrid star has refused to come back and clean out his locker nor has he told pals to keep his stuff.
Costa joined Chelsea from the Spanish capital four years ago for £32million and has bagged 58 goals in 109 appearances.
