William Gallas suggests Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta should consider signing free agent Diego Costa after Atletico Madrid exit.
Costa would add much-needed “character” to Arsenal’s squad if Arteta decided to make a move for the former Chelsea striker, says Gallas.
Costa, who previously thrived in English football across three productive years at Stamford Bridge between 2014 and 2017, is now waiting on enticing offers.
The former defender told PlayOJO of Costa: “He would bring character to the squad. He just wants to win games.
“If his team-mate doesn’t play well, he will shout at them during the game and sometimes I think this is good. Sometimes, when I’m watching Arsenal, they don’t show any reaction when they concede, and someone like Costa will shout to the guys ‘Wake up!’, which can boost the players.
“If he comes to Arsenal, he will cause a lot of problems for defenders but it might also mean Alexandre Lacazette going on the bench again.”
