Diego Costa has not asked to leave Chelsea and is expected to stay at Stamford Bridge this summer, reports the London Evening Standard.

Reports in Spain today suggested that the striker had handed in a transfer request in order to force through a move back to Atletico Madrid.

But, it is now understood that is not the case and Costa is training with the rest of the squad as normal at their pre-season base in Austria.

Atletico Madrid are desperate to re-sign the 27-year-old, who joined Chelsea from the La Liga club for £32m in 2014.
