Tottenham has been linked with a move for former Premier League bad boy, Diego Costa, according to the Daily Star and it makes sense.
The Brazilian is coming off the back of a poor season with Atletico Madrid and with just a year left on his current deal, he might be the striker that Spurs have been looking for.
The Lilywhites need to sign a new hitman in this transfer window as they look to reduce the goalscoring burden on Harry Kane.
They have targeted several possibilities like Bournemouth’s Callum Wilson, however, the Englishman looks like he could end up being an expensive signing.
Costa, on the other hand, might give Jose Mourinho exactly what he wants from his striker.
The Brazil-born Spain international is an aggressive forward who bullied Premier League defenders on his way to helping Chelsea win the Premier League title.
Mourinho apparently considers his Spurs team a weak one and adding the striker will help them become a more physically imposing side when they attack teams.
Atletico Madrid needs cash in this transfer window and they have decided to transfer-list the striker instead of losing him for nothing at the end of next season.
Costa may have had a poor year, but he will be more affordable and his Premier League experience will be key in helping Spurs get goals.
