Chelsea ace Diego Costa: China? I'm in charge...

Diego Costa has played down talk of quitting Chelsea for China.

Reports had suggested the Spain international was closing in on a £75million transfer to Chinese Super League side Tianjin Quanjian.

However Costa, who netted his 20th Premier League goal of the season against Middlesbrough on Monday night, insists he is yet to decide his long-term future.

Costa, speaking to DIRECTVSports, said: "I am in charge of my own future and that does not mean that I am going to China."

Chelsea are now just one win away from securing the title.
