Galatasaray approach Chelsea for Diego Costa loan

Galatasaray are eyeing Chelsea bad-boy Diego Costa.

The Sunday Express says Turkish media sources state Galatasaray are planning on offering Chelsea the chance to offload the struggling striker, even if it is only on a loan basis.

Costa has rarely been out of the newspapers since his arrival at Chelsea.

A number of on-field clashes with opposition players have invoked the fury of the FA and general public, but having been dropped, an insolent display on the Chelsea bench against Tottenham suggests his relationship with Mourinho has disintegrated entirely.

And while a move abroad, even temporarily, may seem like a quick fix, a move to Istanbul would be a considerable step down in standard of football for the Spanish striker.
