2) Chelsea: Diego Costa
The Brazilian-born Spanish striker has had an interesting three seasons at Chelsea. He came in and helped the club win the Premier League title in his first season with 20 goals in the league but his fitness concerns saw him have a negligible impact on their Champions League aspirations.
The second season was a disaster for everyone connected with the club as Roman Abramovich sacked Jose Mourinho for the second time in his career. The Stamford Bridge faithful aimed their ire at Costa for the Special One’s ouster and even booed him off the pitch in the following game.
Last summer saw him angle for a move away from the club and he had even informed new boss Antonio Conte of the same. The Italian manager was not impressed and almost froze him out of the squad before Costa came crawling back with his tail between his legs when he realised Atletico Madrid could not wait for him, signing Kevin Gameiro instead.
With a lucrative offer from the Chinese Super League also threatening to derail his focus, Costa managed to keep his head down and score 20 goals yet again as Chelsea sealed the Premier League title. But Conte will have seen enough of his temperament to include him in his long-term plans at Chelsea.
Possible destination: Atletico Madrid. Fernando Torres looks set to leave and Diego Simeone needs a striker.
