Chelsea have agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid to sign left back Filipe Luis.

The 28-year-old Brazilian will follow his former Atletico team-mate Diego Costa to Stamford Bridge.

He will also strengthen the left-back area after the departure of Ashley Cole to Roma.

Last season Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho played Cesar Azpilicueta out of position at left-back which suggests that Luis may find himself with a regular starting spot.

However Luis was not included in the Brazil squad for the World Cup despite being a key presence as Atletico won La Liga and reached the Champions League final.
