Transfer Buzz: Filipe Luis rejoins Atletico from Chelsea

Defender Filipe Luis has rejoined Atletico Madrid from Chelsea in a reported 16 million euro ($17.66 million) deal, the Spanish club said on Tuesday.

The 29-year-old returned to the Calderon having played 26 matches for Chelsea last season, but he never fully won the confidence of manager Jose Mourinho.

"Filipe Luis is again a player of Atletico Madrid. The rojiblanco and Chelsea have reached an agreement for the transfer of the fullback," Atletico said in a statement on their website.

"The Brazilian has signed for the next four seasons."

Filipe Luis joined Chelsea on the back of an impressive campaign for Atletico in which his surging runs from left-back helped his side win La Liga and reach the Champions League final in 2014.

"We wish him all the best for the future," Chelsea said on their website.

Coach Diego Simeone brought in Guilherme Siqueira and Cristian Ansaldi after Filipe Luis left but neither was convincing last season.

Atletico have been busy in the transfer market, with Jackson Martinez, Luciano Vietto and Stefan Savic among the players arriving. Arda Turan and Miranda have left the club.

Crespo joins Villa as Sherwood continues to ring changes

Jose Angel Crespo has become Aston Villa's seventh close-season signing after sealing a move from relegated La Liga side Cordoba, the Premier League club said on Tuesday.

The 28-year-old defender has signed a three-year deal to join Villa, who finished one place above the relegation zone last season following manager Tim Sherwood's appointment in February.

Villa's other new faces include Scott Sinclair and Micah Richards from Manchester City, Idrissa Gueye from Lille and Jordan Ayew from Lorient.

"Jose is a player who has been on our radar for some time and we're really pleased to secure his signature," Sherwood told Aston Villa's website.

"He is an experienced player who has played in La Liga and Serie A -- two of the strongest leagues in the world -- and from speaking to him, I know he can't wait to play for Aston Villa."

Crespo, who has been capped by Spain at under-21 level, previously played for Sevilla and Racing Santander in Spain and Padova, Bologna and Verona in Italy.
