"Arsenal" in the spotlight - "Atletico" forward D.Costa © EuroFootball.com

The London "Arsenal" club is already looking to attract the forward Diego Costa from Madrid's "Atletico" team in January, according to "Goal.com".

According to the report, the "gunners" scouts will monitor the Brazilian footballer during the next two matches of the Madrid team.

As known, Arsene Wenger, after a failed attempt to acquire "Liverpool" forward Luis Suarez this summer, continues to look for ways to strengthen the attacking line.

D. Costa signed a new contract with "Atletico" club in August until 2018, but it is reported that there is a buyout clause in the contract amounting to 38 million euros.

This season the player is demonstrating an impressive athletic form - in 22 matches the forward has scored 21 times.
