Arsenal Look to Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa Instead of Adrian Lopez
Arsene Wenger will look to lure Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa to the Emirates Stadium this summer.
The 24 year old has come to the attention of the North London club after scouting sessions aimed at targeting Adrian Lopez led to an interest in his Vicente Calderon team-mate.
Wenger has been linked with interest in Spanish international Adrian for some months but he is now ready to turn his attentions to Costa, who has hit a good run of form of late.
The powerful forward is into his second spell at Atletico Madrid and has forced his way into Diego Simeone’s first team set-up after an excellent spell out on loan at Rayo Vallecano, during which Costa scored 10 goals in 15 starts and he now supports Radamel Falcao up front.
Costa has scored 15 goals in all competitions this term, form that led to his first national team cap earlier this month.
Arsene Wenger may feel he can tempt Costa into a move to North London given that all talk of a possible Radamel Falcao exit have generally entailed Simeone looking to bring in another big name star to take his place and the Arsenal boss could well offer Costa a better chance of securing regular first team football.
As with other potential Gunners transfer targets the importance of being able to offer Champions League football to prospective additions is of course key, not least because Atletico Madrid are in pole position to secure a berth in the competition after an excellent La Liga campaign.
Arsenal will look to make room for attacking additions by permanently offloading loaned out strikers Nicklas Bendtner, Marouane Chamakh and Park Chu-Young.

Transfer News: Atletico Madrid Target Ricky Alvarez From Inter Milan
Atletico De Madrid coach Diego Simeone is interested in Inter Milan midfielder Ricky Alvarez who has been deemed as surplus at the San Siro.
Last season Alvarez started just 15 Serie A games, while he was substituted early in 13 of those matches. And in the current campaign he is receiving even less playing time, with just two Serie A appearances so far.
The Argentine was tipped to succeed Wesley Sneijder at Inter and was bought from Velez Sarsfield with that in mind in 2011 – he has though failed to thoroughly convince with Fredy Guarin beginning to impress in Sneijder's role instead.
Now countryman Diego Simeone wants him at Atletico Madrid according to sports mediaset.
The Spanish giants are eyeing up a loan move for the rest of the season for the 24-year-old, with the option to make that a permanent switch at the end of the campaign for a set €6M fee.
Atletico Madrid are currently second in La Liga and hoping to replicate an impressive first half of the season during the second half.

Transfer News: Barcelona Want On Loan Chelsea Keeper Thibaut Courtois
Barcelona want Chelsea keeper Thibaut Courtois who is currently on loan at fellow Spanish club Atletico Madrid.
The Sun reports that sources close to the Belgian player confirmed last night that Barca have sounded out the chances of signing the 20-year-old but so far “without making a formal offer.”
Courtois, considered one of Europe’s top keepers, cost Chelsea £8million from Genk in the summer of 2011. He signed for five years but was immediately loaned out to Atletico to replace David de Gea.
The original idea was to remain with the Spaniards until June 2013 but recently Chelsea expressed interest in bringing him home a year early.
Now it seems the Blues must decide just how valuable he is to them. But Courtois is unwilling to go back to Chelsea as he will need to wait for Cech to leave or retire. This would also be the same situation at the Catalan club.
Barcelona will continue to push for his signature as they seek a replacement for Victor Valdes.
