Diego Costa has been in great form this season, and tops the scoring chart with 13 league goals so far.

The Spain international has admitted that he doesn’t set personal goals, but is always looking to improve.

“I have been better than I am now,” the striker admitted. “And that gives me more motivation to try to get better. That’s what I will carry on doing.

“I don’t set myself personal targets, in terms of goals and assists. What I try to do is improve, always. If the previous campaign hasn’t been very good, or even if it has, I just try to do a better campaign than the one before. My main aspiration, and not just mine, my team-mates’ too, is to conquer the title again.

“I felt we like had something to prove coming into this season. Last season we left a debt behind, so to speak. And that’s the secret to our great form this season. We owe a lot to our people and we are hoping we are going to be able to pay that back.”
