2.1 million followers urge Diego Costa to join Besiktas

The Chelsea man was flooded with comments on his Instagram account, most of which came from Besiktas followers calling for the centre-forward to join the Turkish champions.

After Antonio Conte gave him the cold shoulder,  Diego Costa has been linked with a number of teams in the transfer window. With Blues' No 1 target Lukaku snubbing the London side, supporters of Besiktas decided to attempt to lure Diego Costa to Istanbul.

'Come to Besiktas!', 'you must come because Besiktas will love you very much', 'you are the king so you should be with us', are just some of the 2.2 million comments made by followers on Diego Costa's Instagram post.

Diego Costa has expressed his desire to return to Atletico Madrid, though he would not be able to join the team until January. The striker could consider Istanbul, as he will choose to go wherever he is wanted. That place, however, is not Stamford Bridge.
