Cesc to Chelsea gathers momentum

Last updated : 04 June 2014 By Paul Lagan

Chelsea are piling on the pressure to see the purchase of Cesc Fabregas from Barcelona signed, sealed and delivered before the start of the World Cup.

With Diego Costa completing a not so secret medical this afternoon, to secure a £32m deal from Atletico Madrid, Jose Mourinho's desire to replace Frank Lampard is entering its final phase And ex-Arsenal man Fabregas fits the bill.

The goal-scoring midfielder will hopefully be sorting out personal terms this week as achelsea and Barcelona thrash out the finer details of another £32m deal.

The £50m the Blues will get from the sale of David Luiz to Paris St Germain, plus the expected £6m from the sale of Ryan Bertand to Liverpool  will help Chelsea comply with new financial regulations over the purchase of Costa and Fabregas.
