Chelsea have no intentions of selling Costa back to Atletico Madrid

Chelsea have absolutely no plans to get rid of Diego Costa anytime soon.

Reports have emerged that former club Atletico Madrid are contemplating the possibility of re-signing the Brazilian-born Spanish striker but The Guardian says that the Blues will 'deflect any attempts'.

It is believed that Costa is struggling to learn English and is so unsettled in London that he wants to return to Madrid.

Costa scored 20 goals in his debut Premier League season as Chelsea took out the English title and the west London club have no intention of selling the 26-year old after luring him from the Vicente Calderon last summer for £32million.
