Costa, 24, put on an incredible performance and watched his reputation soar as he single-handedly ensured Portugal advanced to the tournament’s quarterfinals.

The 24-year-old is naturally drawing a lot of attention as he is already anticipated to leave Porto this summer. According to recent sources, Chelsea, a Premier League team, is among his admirers.

Chelsea is “seriously considering” acquiring a new stopper.
According to Spanish publication Fichajes, the Blues “are already seriously considering signing” Portugal’s top player.

With the support of US billionaire owner Todd Boehly, Chelsea has five starting goalkeepers, the best of them is Robert Sanchez, who was signed last summer.

Though there are questions about the Spaniard’s capacity to be the Londoners’ clear top pick, it appears that Enzo Maresca may be considering a new shot-stopper.

Chelsea won’t be so stupid as to believe they are the only team interested in Porto’s Costa, 24, even though he has the potential to be a huge improvement over what they currently have.

Costa still has three years left on his contract, but his recent heroics at the EUROs will probably cause his value to soar. Chelsea and other teams will need to overcome this obstacle if they want to recruit one of the most outstanding keepers this summer.
