Diego Costa – signed from Atletico Madrid, £32m
If there was one area that needed significant improvement then it was in attack, where the strike force of Demba Ba, Samuel Eto’o and Fernando Torres failed to impress last term.
Both Ba and Eto’o have now left the club as a result, with Costa arriving brimming with good form from his past 12 months at the Vicente Calderon Stadium.
The 25-year-old scored 36 goals in all competitions for Diego Simeone’s side in 2013/14 as they won the Spanish league title for the first time since 1996.
