Key Soccerlytics Insight:
Not only is Diego Costa the 2nd highest goal scorer in Europe's top 5 leagues with 13 goals, but he is also 2nd on the list in the "Big Chances Missed" category (11 misses). This tells us a couple of things:
- Perhaps he is not as efficient in front of goal as you'd want
- He is very good at getting himself into good goal scoring positions
Atletico Madrid's Brazilian Born Spanish International is currently valued at about 24 million Euros. The good news for Spain and Atletico Madrid is that there's so much upside to Costa's potential as a striker. No wonder two of the world's top soccer nations (Spain and Brazil) have been battling for his services.
