The pair thrived together at Atletico Madrid and,
with the midfielder set to leave Vicente Calderon,
Chelsea are reportedly interested in signing the
Turkey international
Diego Costa is hoping to one day play alongside
Arda Turan again amid reported interest from
Chelsea in the Atletico Madrid man.
The 28-year-old Arda, who is set to leave the
Vicente Calderon this summer, has already denied
potential moves to Barcelona and Manchester
United.
Costa won La Liga, the Copa del Rey and reached
the Champions League final with the Turkey
international while at the Vicente Calderon and
feels the pair - along with Filipe Luis - could
replicate their trophy-winning form at Stamford
Bridge.
"It would be fantastic [to play alongside Arda
again]," Costa told Bugun. "Arda makes everything
so much easier out on the pitch. Arda, Filipe and I
function perfectly.
"Arda is such a great person. He invited us to eat
at his house many times; I really liked his kebab.
The whole team would go round to his house for
dinner."
Costa also spoke of his admiration for Blues boss
Mourinho as the Premier League champions ready
themselves for their title defence.
He added: "Mourinho dedicates himself completely
to his work. He adores his job and immerses
himself in it.
"At the moment the team is resting but I am sure
he isn’t – he will be planning, doing things to
improve the team. Mourinho makes things easier
for the players.
"Simeone is still a relatively young coach and he
always strives for the best; he always helps his
players and he enjoys his job. Both of them have
enjoyed success."
