Arsenal plot move for Diego Costa?

Arsenal have reportedly “explored” the possibility of signing Atletico Madrid forward Diego Costa as a potential transfer target.

The Gunners have endured a poor start to the season and are currently side down in 15th position in the Premier League table.

Despite having Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah at his disposal, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is now considering his options in the January transfer window.

According to AS, the north Londoners may look to sign Atleti’s Diego Costa, who wants to leave Wanda Metropolitano before the end of his contract later next year.

While the 32-year-old is said to have received offers from Brazil and China, the former Chelsea man will not be short of opportunities in Europe.

Costa has scored 19 goals in 81 appearances for Atletico Madrid since his move from Chelsea in 2017.
