Diego Costa, 25 (Atletico Madrid)
Atletico de Madrid man Diego Costa is the most prolific striker in Europe, alongside Liverpool forward Luis Suarez, and his 19 goals in 16 starts in La Liga and 4 goals in 3 UEFA Champions League matches make him a formidable presence in front of goal.
Costa is a tireless runner, who presses opposition defences throughout ninety minutes, and the Brazilian Spaniard (?) can score a wide variety of goals from tap-ins to screamers from outside the area.
The 25 year-old is strong too, and in the absence of Olivier Giroud, Costa would certainly make a fine focal point to the Arsenal side were he signed.
However, with Atletico Madrid well aware of the ability of their man, they will certainly value him highly, and if Arsenal are to gamble on his signing it would be a huge outlay.
