Diego Costa not interested in China move

Chelsea striker, Diego Costa, has told his friends that he is not interested in moving to the Chinese Super League, despite receiving a lucrative offer, according to ESPN Brasil.

The Spain international trained alone at Cobham for three days and did not travel with the rest of the team for their Premier League match at Leicester City.

It is understood that Costa was involved in a heated argument with a fitness coach over an injury and Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, stepped in and eventually punished the player.

The club refused to comment on the matter on Friday, but Costa posted an image of him celebrating a goal on his official Instagram account on Saturday, with the caption: “Come on Chelsea!”

Costa’s contract runs until June 2019.
