Chelsea duo Diego Costa and Thibaut Courtois are reportedly keen to sign new contracts at the club despite having been linked with a move away during the summer.

Chelsea duo Diego Costa and Thibaut Courtois are both reportedly keen to sign new contracts at the club.

Both players were linked with returns to Spain following a disastrous 2015-16 campaign, only to be convinced to stay at Stamford Bridge by new manager Antonio Conte.

Chelsea have since risen to the top of the Premier League table under Conte, with Costa leading the Premier League's goalscoring charts and Courtois having kept six clean sheets in a row.

The Telegraph reports that the pair are now happy to extend their stays at the club, although Chelsea are in no rush with both players currently under contract until 2019.

Costa's potential new deal will reportedly see his wage rise from £150,000 a week to £200,000 a week, while Courtois will also receive a £50,000-a-week pay rise.

Chelsea, who are currently one point clear of Liverpool and Manchester City, will look to make it seven league wins in a row when they host Tottenham Hotspur on Saturday.
