Chelsea have reportedly launched a £16m bid to sign Shakhtar Donetsk forward Douglas Costa.
The twice-capped Brazil international is said to have been on Chelsea’s radar since he moved to Europe from Brazilian side Grêmio Foot-ball Porto Alegrense, Douglas Costa also formed a deadly partnership with current Chelsea star Willian during their time together in Shakhtar Donetsk.
Costa’s impressive start to this season has seen him feature in all six of Shakhtar Donetsk Champions League games so far this season, scoring one goal and also assisting one.
