Chelsea legend convinced Diego Costa will enjoy long love affair with Blues
CHELSEA legend Gianluca Vialli envisages Diego Costa staying at Stamford Bridge for a long time.
The Spain international hit the ground running for the champions in his debut campaign last season, smashing home 20 Premier League goals.
Reports emerged on the continent recently that Costa was feeling homesick and linked him with a return to former club Atletico Madrid.

But Vialli believes Costa will 'fall in love' with Chelsea and doesn't think he will quit the club anytime soon.
"It was tough for him to understand the controversies," Vialli told The Sun.
