Chelsea striker Diego Costa has admitted that he misses Atletico Madrid, but insists he is settled in London with Chelsea. Costa was continuously linked with a return to his former club over the summer, but stayed with Chelsea.

Costa has already scored six goals this season, he was pressed by Spanish media as to whether he misses Madrid, to which he responded, “A little. I like Madrid a lot, have had some very happy moments there. But I’m very happy in London.

“I always follow Atletico and watch what they’re doing. They’re doing really well and I am so happy for them. Atletico have been at this level for a few years — battling for every trophy and beating the best sides. I’m not surprised because they’re a top side and they deserve it.”

Costa also had words of encouragement for teammate Cesc Fabregas, who has been left out of Spain’s latest squad, “”He knows that he has the chance to come back to the national team one day. It’s always important to be called back by the national team.”

Costa was born in Brazil and even played a friendly for the Seleção, but Spain capitalised on his Spanish citizenship and called him before he had played a competitive match for his home country.
