The Spain international finally found some form on Saturday, scoring a brace in Chelsea's 2-2 Premier League draw against Watford.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a return to Atletico, where he starred before his move to England in July 2014.

Atletico president Enrique Cerezo was unwilling to rule out a return for Costa.

"Right now, Diego is a Chelsea player and he has to focus on Chelsea," he told RTVE.

Costa scored 43 league goals in three seasons for Atletico, who sit second in the La Liga table.
