Chelsea's Diego Costa open to idea of Ligue 1 move with Marseille

Diego Costa has said he would be tempted to join Marseille should he leave Chelsea, while teammate N'Golo Kante could already have been at the Ligue 1 club.

Costa still has more than two years left on the five-season deal he signed when he moved to Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in 2014, but there has been regular speculation over his future.

Speaking to Telefoot, the Spain international forward, who has scored 17 times in 26 top-flight appearances for the Premier League leaders this season, said he would be interested in playing in Ligue 1.

"It's true Marseille has a great project and is growing," Costa said referring to the ambitious plans put in place by OM's new American owner Frank McCourt.
