Arsenal Transfers: 5 Reasons Wenger Must Sign Diego Costa
5. Hes Probably The Closest Thing There Is To Luis Suarez Right Now
Obviously, every club in the Premier League needs to worry about the threat that Luis Suarez carries right now. Arsene Wenger famously failed to sign the player during the last transfer window, and has insisted that he will not be going back for the Liverpool striker. However, he would certainly like to acquire a player that could make a similar impact for his side. Data of Costa this season certainly make him a hugely desirable option with 19 league goals and an average rating 7.81 so far this season; only the Uruguayan forward can claim to be a more prolific league goalscorer on current form. Costa is also arguably more efficient than Suarez with 3.4 shots per game, compared with the 5.9 that the Liverpool forward has. Arsenals target is also similar to Suarez in that both players herald from South American countries and the Brazilian flair that Costa can bring might be seen as the final piece of the jigsaw for Arsene Wenger.
