1 Chelsea boss Antonio Conte and striker Diego Costa

Diego Costa is set to commit his long-term future to Chelsea after turning down a staggering deal to move to China.

The Spanish striker’s future at Stamford Bridge was in serious doubt only weeks ago after he had his turned by a £30million-a-year offer from the Far East.

Costa rowed with manager Antonio Conte amid fears he was looking for a way out and was dropped for the 3-0 win over Leicester on January 14.

But the 28-year-old made peace with Conte and, having being restored to the team, he now wants to stay with the Blues and is poised to sign a new contract.

According to The Sun, Costa’s representatives have already reached an agreement in principle that will see the forward sign a five-year deal worth £220,000-a-week plus bonuses.

The deal will make the former Atletico Madrid star the highest paid player at the London club – and will come as a huge boost to Chelsea fans.

Costa has been a huge success since arriving from Atletico in 2014 and his 15 goals this season have helped fire the club eight points clear at the top of the Premier League this season.
