Your support makes all the difference.Antonio Conte would want Chelsea striker Diego Costa to stay at the club if he takes over in west London, according to reports.
The Italy manager is the odds-on favourite and exepcted to take over at Stamford Bridge after Euro 2016.
Following a season of awful performances and results - which will end with Jose Mourinho out of the door and no Champions League football or trophies next season - a summer of huge upheaval is expected at Chelsea.
Star striker Costa is one of a number of Chelsea's top players linked with a move away from the club; the Spain international has been linked with a return to former club Atletico Madrid.
However, according to the Evening Standard, Conte will want to keep Costa in west London should he take over.
Eden Hazard, Oscar and Thibaut Courtois have also been linked with a move away from the club.
Without the offer of Champions League football to lure potential targets, the Blues are worried they could miss out on top tier targets, who will want to play in Europe's most prestigious competition.
