'Crazy, crazy guy' - Mikel Obi reveals Diego Costa's wild antics at Chelsea

Former Chelsea midfielder Mikel Obi has shed some light on Diego Costa's time at Stamford Bridge.

The Spanish striker had a reputation for bullying defenders during his three-year stint at Athletico Madrid and Chelsea.

Costa registered 59 goals in 120 appearances for the Blues from 2014 to 2017.

In spite of his antics on the field, Costa was deeply admired by his Chelsea teammates.

Mikel Obi has however revealed that he kept his distance from him due to some of his off-color jokes in the dressing room.

“How long have we got? Crazy, crazy guy. He is a guy in the dressing room after training, you are sitting in the dressing room and Diego Costa is sitting there.

“He is looking at everyone walking around naked, trying to flick you with a towel, grab whatever he can grab. Yeah, he just goes crazy.

“That is what he does. Sometimes, when you see him in the dressing room, you just run out.”
