Arsenal fans are desperate for a star striker and urge their club to look at Chelsea wantaway Diego Costa this summer.
The Spanish superstar has been in terrific form, standing as the top goal scorer for Chelsea in each of the three seasons he has played at the Stamford Bridge.
He has helped them to two Premier League titles in three years and has been one of the most important parts of Antonio Conte’s title-winning squad last year.
However, he had a falling out with the Italian manager in January and ever since, there have been rumours that he will quit the club at the end of the season.
Though it looked like Conte and Costa mended their ways to end the season on a successful note, Costa himself revealed that he received a text from Conte, asking him to leave Chelsea this summer.

He declared: “I’m a Chelsea player but they do not want me there.
“Antonio Conte has told me by message that I do not follow at Chelsea and that’s it.
“Conte said he did not count on me for next season. My relationship with the coach has been bad this season.
“It’s a shame, I’ve already forwarded the message to Chelsea people to decide,” he said in a recent interview.
And it is now reported that Arsenal and Manchester United are looking at him as a possible addition even as his agent has opened dialogue with Italian giants AC Milan for a huge move this summer.
With 22 goals in the Premier League last season, Costa is currently one of the best players in his position and will be a wanted man in England.
He will not be available on the cheap but Arsenal fans are now urging Wenger to put an end to their striker search by spending on Costa this summer.
Here is a collection of the best tweets:

Though he prefers a move to Atletico Madrid, the transfer ban on the Spanish club might help Arsenal in luring him and keeping him in London, but it is hard to see Conte decide to sell to a direct rival this summer.
