Diego Costa has insisted he is happy at Chelsea amid speculation he wants to quit the Premier League and return to Atletico Madrid.
It was reported earlier this week that the Spain international was unsettled in London and wanted to go back to Vicente Calderon, a year after leaving Atletico.
But Costa was asked about the gossip in an interview with the Blues’ in-house TV channel and denied it had any substance.
“It is quite a simple answer. It’s always more difficult in the first season but I have no reason to leave this place,” he said.
“I love it, the fans love me and I want to stay. It’s really good to come here in the first season and win two things.
“It’s really important and next year I’ll be ready to come back and hopefully win a couple more trophies.”
