As this season is getting off eventually in the English premier league, it is still unsure if Chelsea superb striker Diego Costa will remain at West London next season.

Ahead of the summer transfer window, a handful of top strikers have been linked with joining Chelsea to replace Costa – especially the duo of Romelu Lukaku and Real Madrid center forward Alvaro Morata.

However, there is another superb star who is not well-known, and that is Swansea City star Fernando Llorente – and the striker is back again in the spotlight..

According to new reports, Chelsea boss Antonio Conte is set to try again to sign Llorente should his huge Spaniard goalscorer leave his side this summer.

Costa has been heavily linked with a move away from the Stamford Bridge club in recent times.

The Chinese Super League is projected to be his most likely destination following a mouthwatering offer for him. However, apart from being also linked with going back to his former Spanish club Atletico Madrid, recent rumours are also bringing up the possibilities of him joining Ligue I side Paris Saint-Germain.

Chelsea boss Conte reportedly moved for Llorente during the January winter transfer window when his issues with Costa persists.

The Chelsea Italian manager has worked together with Llorente back then in Juventus, even though the talented 32-year-old had been slow to get going in the English top flight.

He is however improving as this campaign, his 14 goals in the premier league helped his club remain in the English top flight.
