Ian Wright has told Chelsea to sell Diego Costa at the first possible opportunity following his patchy form for the Blues this season.

Costa cost Chelsea £32 million in June 2014, reported The BBC, and led the Blues to the Premier League title in his first season.
Ryan Shawcross has said that Diego Costa is nothing compared to the real hardmen he faced playing in the Championship.
Mark Hughes’ side now lie in 12th place in the Premier League, and with a few big names having come in in the summer, Shawcross believes Stoke should be looking up the table rather than below them.
The two players had a running battle throughout the game, but it was Shawcross who had the last laugh as Marko Arnautovic scored the only goal of the game.
While many first team players have disappointed so far this season, it’s unlikely that the likes of Branislav Ivanovic and Cesc Fabregas will be axed in January but nevertheless, a few of their team-mates might find themselves getting acquainted with the Stamford Bridge exit door. “You need a centre forward to get on with it, stretch teams, get forward, and cause teams problems in the right way”.

The Spain striker fired another blank as Jose Mourinho’s men slumped to a 1-0 defeat by Stoke City at the Britannia Stadium on Saturday to leave the west London club just three points off the relegation zone. What do you think of Wright’s comments?
