Shanghai Shenhua manager and former Chelsea player Gus Poyet revealed he would love to sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa but he admits it’s going to be difficult.

Asked if he would like to sign Costa, Poyet told talkSPORT: “I would love to but it will be very difficult for us because of the quantity [of non-Chinese players] we have got. There are three who are playing.

“There would have to be a massive change to the structure of the club to be able to bring Diego here.

“I don’t know if it’s going to happen, I would never say ‘no, never’, but I would say it would be very difficult for him to come here.”
