Alexandra Pato can see former Chelsea teammate Diego Costa joining him in China.

Pato has hinted that Chinese Super League club Tianjin Quanjian could try to sign Diego Costa in the summer.

Speaking to Marca, Pato was asked about the possibility of linking up again with Costa in China and said: “I was already Diego Costa's team-mate at Chelsea. He's a good team-mate, he could help us a lot. But we do not know anything. What I think is that this summer I am sure that we are going to sign an important player, a high-level [player].

“Diego Costa? I do not know. I limit myself to playing. The person who occupies himself with these things is [coach] Fabio Cannavaro, along with the president."
