Koke to Chelsea: Five facts Blues fans should know about £22m Atletico Madrid star
The Spanish international has long been regarded as one of the best young playmakers in Europe, having contributed 2 goals and 9 assists this term to follow on from his fine form that inspired Atletico to the La Liga title last year.
Manchester City are also mentioned by the Metro as possible suitors for Koke, who is now said to have been the subject of an official bid ahead of the summer transfer window as the 23-year-old edges closer to an exit from the Vincente Calderon.
It is not yet known which team made the offer for the Spaniard, but with Atletico failing to keep the likes of Diego Costa, Filipe Luis and Thibaut Courtois last summer, it seems likely that Koke could be the latest big name to head out of the club and move to the Premier League instead.
