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.
