DIEGO COSTA beams for a cheesy Chelsea team photo as he puts talks of a Chelsea exit behind him - for now.

Captain Terry uploaded a snap of himself, Costa and several of their team-mates at the club's Cobham training ground baring cheesy grins for the camera.

He captioned the post: "Champs," tagging his club pals.
