3) Diego Costa – Atletico Madrid
Costa is one of the form strikers in European football this year, for an Atletico side that currently top La Liga table.
He’s scored 20 in 21 league starts, and bagged four in the Champions League as well…
Atletico traditionally sell their superstar strikers once they’ve reached their potential with the club, (Fernando Torres, Sergio Aguero, Radamel Falcao) so Chelsea may have a chance come the summer.
Costa is incomparably powerful, and is a real nuisance in the final third. He occasionally looks awkward and sluggish, but his work-rate is exceptional, and he’s a very composed finisher. His fighting style might suit English football perfectly, and if Mourinho can get him on side, he’ll have a serious player on his hands.
