4 players tipped to shine at the 2018 World Cup

#4 Diego Costa

Diego Costa - A man on a mission

The former Chelsea man may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there’s no denying that Costa possesses bags of ability. The Spanish Striker who made the switch back to Atletico has been in fine form ever since the transfer.

Costa is exactly the kind of striker that defenders hate to face. He is an old-school centre-forward who is strong in the air, hard as nails and can bully even the toughest of defenders. Although Costa failed miserably at the previous World Cup, he definitely looks a more matured player and with the right players supporting him from midfield and out wide the striker is definitely capable of coming up with the goods.

Costa also enjoyed a terrific strike rate domestically over the last four seasons and has shown why he’s the man that should lead the line for Spain at Russia. If he can keep his temper in check, he will definitely be a force to be reckoned with in the summer.
