‘I want to play for Chelsea’, says Douglas Costa

Shakhtar Donetsk midfielder, Douglas Costa, has issued yet another come-and-get-me plea to Chelsea by stating his desire to play for them.

The Brazilian international has been strongly linked with a move to Stamford Bridge ever since he admitted that he’s a fan of the club and would be interested in playing for them. However, he’s gone one step further this time by saying he wants to play for a team that challenges for championships, and wants to play alongside Willian.

Chelsea were interested in Costa during the January window, but opted to sign Juan Cuadrado from Fiorentina instead, but these latest comments from the midfielder could see the interest renewed over the Summer period.

“I’m tired of playing in the same league,” he said. “It’s time to change something. I want to try myself in a strong team that plays in a strong championship.

“I want to play for Chelsea not just because my friend Willian plays there, but also because it’s the team coached by a great coach like Mourinho.

“With them I can achieve maximum height. I am now 24, and it is a mistake to try to persuade me to stay.”

The 24-year-old is valued at around ÂŁ18million by the Ukranian side.
