Antonio Conte’s Chelsea have revived with four successive Premier League wins and clean sheets but must now confront a player they had hoped to re-sign when Romelu Lukaku returns with Everton. The fees being quoted for the Belgian over the summer had been mind-boggling. As it is, he stayed at Goodison Park and Diego Costa is thriving again at Stamford Bridge. “Diego is not only scoring the goals but working a lot for the team,” said Conte of the division’s leading scorer to date this term. “I’m seeing a complete player in Diego.” Theirs will be an intriguing tête-à-tête.
