Arsenal to make move for La Liga goal machine

Arsenal are reportedly willing to activate Atletico Madrid star Diego Costa’s £32 million release clause Arsene Wenger shocked many when he landed Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid in the summer – with the Frenchman prepared to go big again and snare Chelsea to the prolific striker’s signature. The Gunners badly need another striker with their title challenge as good as over if lone frontman Olivier Giroud gets injured. And while Wenger failed to move for a striker in the January transfer market he is prepared to splash the cash again by bringing in Brazilian born Costa in the summer. The 25-year-old, although quiet in the 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid last night, has managed to notch an impressive 19 goals in 21 La Liga appearances this term – fitting the newly adopted transfer policy of Wenger, who believes the club should pay big for guaranteed quality.
