Strikers available in the January transfer window – Part II

Diego Costa

Interested Clubs: Dortmund, Arsenal, Liverpool, Chelsea

Diego Costa – Hot for business!

The hottest commodity in Europe by a mile, Diego Costa has set La Liga alight with his goalscoring antics following the departure of Falcao.

Clubs are lining up for the signature of Atletico Madrid’s newest sensation and with a buyout clause of a mere £20 million, every decent club will be willing to test its luck with him.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are on a streak of their own and will be reluctant to sell their prized asset. However, since the buyout clause is a reasonable amount, they will have no other option but to let clubs talk to their star player, while hoping that he does not fall for their promises.

Dortmund, Chelsea and Liverpool have more or less confirmed their interest in signing the striker, while Arsene Wenger is keeping a close eye on the proceedings. Costa would make a perfect and cheap replacement for the outgoing Lewandowski and could fill in the numbers at Chelsea as well.

Atletico Madrid will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to keep him at the club till summer.

Possibility of departure: High
