Antonio Conte’s summer targets: Alexis Sanchez and Romelu Lukaku

Diego Costa is back in training. He trained with his teammates on Tuesday for the first-time since a reported bust-up with Antonio Conte. Chelsea have made it clear that they will not sell their star player in the January transfer window. The question is – how long can they keep him at the club?

Tianjin Quanjian, the Chinese Super League club, tried to sign Costa this month, with the club’s owner, Shu Yuhul, having reportedly met the striker’s agent, Jorge Mendes. The Chinese club had also targeted Paris Saint-Germain’s Edison Cavani, Karim Benzema of Real Madrid and Monaco’s Radamel Falcao.
