Costa: I am the owner of my future

The Spain international has been linked with a move to the Far East this summer but he played down reports linking him with a move away from Chelsea

Chelsea striker Diego Costa says he will decide his own future - that does not necessarily mean a move to China.

Costa scored his 20th Premier League goal of the season as Chelsea beat Middlesbrough 3-0 on Monday night to move within three points of the title.

The 28-year-old striker has been repeatedly linked with a lucrative move to Tianjin Quanjian in the Chinese Premier League since January.

Costa told South American broadcasters DirecTV Sports: “I am the owner of my future and it does not mean that I am going to China.”
