Since the end of the 2016/2017 English Premier League season, the Diego Costa problem has contined to add up in layers. From having an amazing season at the Club to leading the club to lift the League title, Diego Costa's season suddenly went from outstanding to outrageous.

After claiming to receive a text message from Antonio conte saying he was no longer needed at the club, Diego costa has failed to return to the Club from Brazil.

See his most recent comments below:

"I am waiting for Chelsea to set me free. I didn't want to leave. I was happy. When the manager does not want you, you have to go.

"I respect [Conte] as a great coach. He has done a good job and I can see that, but as a person, no. He is not a coach who is very close with his players. He is very distant. He doesn't possess charisma.

"I never had any problems with Jose [Mourinho], we have a strong relationship. Everyone was very sad when things didn't work out in the end for him at Chelsea.

"I have not deleted the message. If people accuse me of lying, I can show them. It was clear, saying that he didn't count on me and wishing me the best for the future. Full stop.

"The worst bit of all this, it is for the fans. They have always treated me so well -- always, always. For this, I am sad. I hope they understand things happen in football.

With this disclosure above, it doesn't look like Costa will be playing for Chelsea ever again. But will there be a speedy resolution to this matter or will Chelsea continue to stall?

It's in both parties interests to speedily move on from this drama and it is hoped they can come to a resolution soon.
