I have no reason to leave Chelsea:Costa


The striker has rubbished reports that he is
unhappy at Stamford Bridge and wants to return t
Atletico Madrid, insisting he loves being at the
west London club
Diego Costa has moved to reassure Chelsea fans
that he is going nowhere this summer.
The Spain international netted 20 goals in his
debut Premier League campaign, but reports
emerged on Monday linking him with a move bac
to former club Atletico Madrid.
Speaking after the Blues' 1-0 victory over Sydney
FC in Australia on Tuesday, Costa rejected such
rumours and insisted he 'loves' being at Chelsea.
"[It is] quite a simple answer," the striker told
Chelsea TV . "It's always a bit more difficult in the
first season for adaptation, but I have no reason t
leave this place, I love it, the fans love me and I
want to stay."
Costa played 41 minutes of Chelsea's friendly with
Sydney before being replaced by Ruben Loftus-
Cheek just before half-time.
The substitution was merely a precaution after
Costa's injury troubles this term, and the player
himself said he welcomed the game time.
"I was glad to play," Costa added. "I've been
injured for a while, it's important to play and I wa
really glad to get a game in before finishing for th
season.
"It's an amazing experience, two different cultures,
firstly in Thailand [where Chelsea played Thailand
All-Stars in Bangkok] and here in Australia. I have
memories from this tour I will take with me for the
rest of my life."
Costa's goals and performances helped Chelsea
wrap up the Premier League title and League Cup
this term.
And the 26-year-old claims he is pleased with
how the season turned out.
"It's really good to come in the first season and
win two things," he said. "It's really important and
next year I'll be ready to come back and hopefully
win a couple more trophies."
