Costa hold-up is Conte’s bad Luk

- BY DAVID ANDERSON

DIEGO COSTA is adamant he will not be pushed out of the exit door by Antonio Conte.

The Spain striker is making life difficult for the Chelsea boss, his revenge for being told by text he had no future at the club.

Conte wanted rid of Costa by now and the delay is complicati­ng efforts to land Romelu Lukaku from Everton.

Costa rejected a move to China and will only quit Chelsea for a return to Atletico Madrid – who have been hit by a transfer ban until January.
