Diego Costa has buried the hatchet with Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

The striker missed out on Chelsea's comfortable win at Leicester City at the weekend as speculation took hold that he wanted to leave the club to head to China on a £30m a year deal.




It was also claimed Costa had been involved in a bust-up with Conte, who reportedly told him to 'go to China'.

Now, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, Conte and Costa have repaired their relationship and the striker is ready to place himself at the Chelsea manager's disposal.
 


It has been claimed Costa is now willing to fully focus on Chelsea until the summer.

The news will be a boost for Chelsea, for whom Costa has been a key man this season as the Blues push to win the Premier League title.

So far this season the Spain international has scored 14 goals in 21 games across all competitions for Chelsea.

His deal with the Blues runs until 2019.
