[Insert Premier League club here] miss out on Douglas Costa

Matt Stead

Someone will probably claim that any Premier League club has missed out on Diego Costa after Juventus agreed a loan move for the Bayern Munich winger.

Tottenham have been tentatively linked with Costa this summer, while Liverpool were also mentioned in passing to hold an interest.

Chelsea and Manchester City have also been rumoured to be keeping tabs on the winger’s situation, but Juventus have swooped to agree a £5million loan move.

Juventus confirmed the move on Wednesday, stating: ‘Douglas Costa is currently undergoing a routine medical ahead of a proposed transfer from Bayern Munich.’

Reports claim that the loan deal will last for two years, with the possibility to make the move permanent for £35million.

Bayern themselves secured a shock loan move for James Rodriguez on Tuesday.
