Chelsea manager Antonio Conte is reportedly still hopeful he can shift Diego Costa before transfer deadline day and use the funds of the sale to bring in both Inter's Antonio Candreva and Leicester City's Danny Drinkwater.
That's according to Italian daily La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Daily Express' Joe Short), who reported the Blues are holding out for £50 million for the Spain international. Former club Atletico Madrid are hampered by a transfer embargo, but Chelsea are still hopeful a deal can be made.
