Former Chelsea defender John Terry has suggested Premier League clubs should consider a move for free agent striker Diego Costa.
The 33-year-old is without a club having been released from a spell at Brazilian club Atlético Mineiro recently.
Previously linked with a move to West Ham, the East London club are in need of attacking reinforcement having failed to sign a frontman in the January window.
Aware of his ex-teammates ability and situation, Terry took to Twitter to suggest top-flight clubs would be wise to take a closer look at the feisty ace.
I can’t believe @diegocosta hasn’t been signed by a premier league club ?

Born in Brazil, Costa represented Spain at the senior international level on 24 occasions, scoring on 10 occasions.
Prior to becoming a free agent, the man once described as ‘very strong’ by Courtois scored five times and provided one assist in 19 appearances.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
Still holding a market value of £4.1million despite being unattached (Transfermarkt), it’s clear to see the powerful frontman still has the quality to offer a service to any top club.
Boasting a trophy and goal-laden career, Costa would certainly bring additional know-how and experience to the West Ham dressing room.
Perhaps the biggest concern for David Moyes would be a potentially adverse effect on the harmony the 52 Premier League goal man could bring.
For free on a short-term contract until the end of the season, if it was to bolster the Irons’ hopes of glory this term, it’s somewhat of a no-brainer.
