Barca plot striker move

 

Barcelona are considering a move for Chelsea striker Diego Costa according to Don Balon

 

The Brazil-born Spain international has once again struggled with injury and disciplinary issues this season as Chelsea have floundered early on this season.

 

Nonetheless, Blaugrana boss Luis Enrique is believed to be a big fan of Costa and his ability to unsettle defences.

The same paper is also convinced that the signing of the 27-year-old would help bring out the best in current striking trio Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Neymar.

 

Chelsea would be reluctant to allow their main striker to depart for pastures new having played a key role in their title win last season.

 

However, Costa has struggled for form this term having managed just two goals and one assist in eight league appearances this term, gaining a WhoScored rating of just 6.84.
