Chelsea boss Conte refuses to rule out Diego Costa sale

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte refused to rule out selling Diego Costa after their FA Cup final defeat to Arsenal.

Conte refused to confirm that he wants striker Costa to stay at Stamford Bridge next season.

Costa kissed the Chelsea badge after scoring their FA Cup final consolation against Arsenal.

When it was put to him that the Spanish striker didn't look like a player who wants away and was then asked if he plans to keep Costa, Conte refused to give any assurances.

He said: “Now, it's important for me to take two or three days to rest and then to speak about the future, for my players, for all. I repeat I need two or three days rest and then speak about the future of the club."
