Diego Costa: Chelsea striker shows support for Antonio Conte’s side with snap despite ‘bust-up’ and China offer

DIEGO COSTA has posted a picture showing his support for Chelsea after being dropped for Saturday’s trip to Leicester.

The Spanish striker has reportedly been involved in a huge bust-up with manager Antonio Conte following claims of a big-money offer from China.

It’s also said that Costa has fallen out with some of Chelsea’s physios over an apparent lower back injury.

And Blues fans everywhere are terrified their title charge could be about to end, with Costa leading the Premier League scoring charts with 14 goals this season.

However, the Stamford Bridge favourite appears to be trying to defuse the situation after he uploaded a positive snap to his Instagram account.

The picture shows him celebrating a Chelsea goal with teammate Pedro and is accompanied by the message “Come on Chelsea!” with a heart emoticon.

Costa has reportedly been offered a stunning £30million-a-year deal to quit Chelsea for the Far East.

And his agent Jorge Mendes was spotted earlier alongside the billionaire owner of Chinese Super League outfit Tianjin Quanjian.

It’s believed Conte shouted “Go to China!” during his row with Costa, but there might be hope for both boss and player after all as the Spaniard uses social media to attempt to build bridges.
