Diego Costa was officially presented as an Atleti player on Sunday, along with fellow new boy Vitolo, who has been on loan at Las Palmas since agreeing a move from Sevilla.
Recall that Diego Costa has not played competitively since June after being frozen out at Chelsea under Antonio Conte.
According to the striker, he is desperate to get back on the pitch and start scoring goals.
"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, I just want to get in shape to play as soon as possible. I'm tired of training. I want to play," the 29-year-old said at his presentation.
