chelsea worried they won’t be able to sell Diego Costa because he has become too FAT over summer

CHELSEA fear Diego Costa is growing FAT during his exile from the Chelsea first team.

The Premier League champions believe their Spain striker is piling on the pounds while on an extended summer holiday in Brazil.

Costa, who has missed the club’s entire pre- season programme, appears to be over-indulging after being told to stay away from training by boss Antonio Conte.

he club have resorted to monitoring his antics on Instagram while desperately trying to line up a buyer for the party-loving striker.
There were even images of Costa riding a jet ski with his dog on social media.
Chelsea chiefs believe he is losing fitness — and they are now rapidly running out of time to sell him before the transfer window closes.

SunSport reported last January that Costa, 28, was being lined up for a move to the Chinese Super League.

But Chelsea ruled it out and instead told him he had to wait until the summer before he could get away.

Conte is preparing for life without him against Burnley today — and has no intention of giving him a second chance.And SunSport reported late last night (Friday) how the Diego Costa saga has taken another turn – with the Spanish striker opening legal proceedings against Chelsea.
The out-of-favour striker is believed to be keen on a move to Atletico Madrid, but has been left angry that Chelsea appear to be blocking any move.

Last week Chelsea dismissed as “nonsense” claims by a lawyer said to be representing Costa that Conte was forcing out last season’s top scorer.
But Press Association Sport understands a legal process is ongoing and there is no appetite to discuss the striker.
