Diego Costa: Chelsea striker a loan target for Premier League rivals Everton – fan reaction

Diego Costa, typically, isn't going about his departure from Chelsea quietly.

The Brazil-born striker was told by Antonio Conte at the end of last season he had no future with the club, and a recent statement from the player confirmed his refusal to return to Stamford Bridge as well as his desire to rejoin Atletico Madrid.

Such a move is proving problematic given the La Liga side's transfer ban until January 2018, however, and a new club have emerged as being interested by his availability: Everton.

Ronald Koeman hinted he could make a loan move for the Blues forward in his press conference yesterday – so see how some supporters have reacted to shock news below.
