Diego Costa, Chelsea
When Chelsea striker Diego Costa decides his days in west London are numbered, his legacy will be a mixed affair.
However, the Spain international is close to the chequered flag with his club as Chelsea dominate the top division in England.
According to Spanish radio station Cadena Ser (h/t Colin Harvey of the Daily Star), Costa is set to join the exodus of talent moving to Chinese football.
Costa has been rejuvenated under Conte this season, especially before Christmas when he terrorised defences once again.
However, his form has dipped since January, and the rumours of a transfer away from England appear to have weighed heavily on him.
Despite this, the striker has 19 goals in the Premier League to his name this campaign, per WhoScored.com, and he will be a major loss to the Blues.
Costa will want to leave an impression in his expected final matches and will desire to score the goals that seal title glory.
Gabriel Jesus, Manchester City
Gabriel Jesus saw the start of his City career punctured after sustaining injury, but the prodigy is back at the business end of the season, with his club chasing a top-four finish.
The Brazil international is one for the future, but he is already a threat to Sergio Aguero's starting place at the Etihad Stadium.
After cutting his teeth in South American football, the 20-year-old appears ready to take England by storm, and manager Pep Guardiola has done well to tempt the youngster to City.
Squawka Football highlighted the attacker's lethal statistics:
City were a much tamer opponent during Jesus' injury spell, but Guardiola can now build his attack around the player following his return from injury.
Alexis Sanchez, Arsenal
As Costa's time in London evaporates, Alexis Sanchez could join the Chelsea player in leaving the English capital.
According to Simon Mullock of the Sunday Mirror (h/t Coral Barry for Metro.co.uk), the Chile international could be about to reunite with former Barcelona boss Guardiola at City, with his contract running down at the Emirates Stadium.
Despite the speculation, Sanchez remains Arsenal's best chance of a positive finish to the season after a lacklustre period in the Premier League.
The Gunners have the FA Cup final ahead on May 27, where the South American's influence will be crucial.
Many Arsenal fans are confused as to Sanchez's intentions for the future, but he remains manager Arsene Wenger's best talent.
