Arsenal Transfers: 5 Reasons Wenger Must Sign Diego Costa

2. Arsenal Just Needs A Pure Goalscorer

Anyone that has watched Luis Suarez this season will know that he basically does everything for Liverpool. No player on the pitch works harder than he does, he scores goals as well as creating them €“ and is simply the driving force in the team. If this transfer does come off €“ then fans need to be realistic about what they can expect from him. Let€™s be honest, effectively they would be signing a pure goalscorer €“ they would be buying the goals necessary to win the league. We all love to see players working hard and doing everything they can, but football is about getting results; the fact that Costa has only contributed one assist and averages 1.6 key passes per game shows that he is more of a finisher than provider €“ but this is no real problem for Arsenal with players like Ozil and in the building to do the creative work.
