He is not yet in his prime
As silly as it might sound, Diego Costa might yet prove to be the bargain of the summer. Not only does he provide Chelsea with a presence up front that the club lacked in the last few years, but it also means that the club have a striker who is still to reach his peak. Although he is 25, the 2013/14 campaign was his first full season as his club’s first-choice striker.
His seven goals in his opening four Premier League games has shown just how good lethal he can be in front of goal. Another thing that tips the bar firmly in his favor is Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese manager is arguably the perfect manager to get the best out of Costa, given his penchant for getting the best out of powerful, physical strikers, with Didier Drogba being the best example. Under the tutelage of Mourinho, Costa will only get better and go onto become the most-feared striker in not just England but Europe as well.
