Conte tight-lipped over reports Costa could move to Turkey

Chelsea boss Antonio Conte has refused to comment on speculation that striker Diego Costa is set to move to Turkish side Fenerbahce.

Costa, 28, has been told he is not in Conte’s plans this season and the absent Spain international has been linked with a move away to Turkey, where the transfer window closes on Friday night.

The unsettled forward has been registered in Chelsea’s Premier League squad this season, but is currently in Brazil.

“There is no news about him,” Conte said. “I don’t know. My focus is on English football, not Turkey.

“When you are a manager and a coach you must be prepared to face every situation. But every manager has great experience to face these type of situations.”
