Diego Costa has been instructed by Antonio Conte to remain focused towards football rather than any contract talks. The Spaniard is expected to sign a new contract to pledge his future to the club.
Costa has been a key figure in Chelsea’s resurgence and has scored 15 goals. Only Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku have more goals than him. The 28-year-old had been linked with a move to China and also had a scuffle with Antonio Conte which had put a question mark on his future.
But things have gradually been sorted and the striker is on the verge of extending his stay with the club. Conte said, “I don’t know about this situation.
“It is important to focus on the present.
“For the players, for me it is important to focus on the present new messages.
“I am confident [he will stay here] but not it is important to keep the great concentration for the game against Wolves (tomorrow).
“We must go into the next round and then this situation will be better to face in the summer.”
