According to the Daily Mail, Diego Costa’s representatives are in China. He could follow Oscar and more recent John Obi Mikel in leaving the English capital for the Chinese Super League.
The Spaniard, the Premier League’s top-scorer this season with 14 goals, is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2021. Nonetheless, the player might pack up his bags and leave, having already admitted he was close to an exit over the summer.
He has not traveled with the league leaders for their Saturday game. Chelsea are due to play Leicester, but left their in-form forward behind.
