Should Chelsea hold on to Diego Costa or cash in on troublesome striker?

It's been a whirlwind weekend for Chelsea and striker Diego Costa. After it was reported that the Spain international was dropped from Antonio Conte's squad following a row with the club's physios, it emerged that Costa was the subject of a bid from Chinese Super League side reported to be Tianjin Quanjian.

News over the weekend emerged that the West London club were adamant to hold on to their leading scorer. On Monday, however, that's changed, as the Telegraph report that Conte is set to offload the striker in the summer.

As this will-he-won't-he unfolds, ESPN FC asked Chelsea bloggers Phil Lythell and Mark Worrall whether or not the Premier League leaders would be better off with or without Costa.
