Transfer: Three Premier League clubs battle to sign Diego Costa

West Ham have joined the race to sign Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa, the UK Mirror reports.

The Hammers are exploring all options after losing out to Valencia in the race to sign Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez.

Manager Manuel Pellegrini is in the market, to replace frontmen Marko Arnautovic, Andy Carroll and Lucas Perez after their departures this summer.

Costa, 30, is on the way out of Atletico this summer, following the breakdown of his relationship with the club he rejoined from Chelsea in 2017.

Everton and Wolves have also been mooted as possible Premier League destinations for him.

However, none of the three clubs has yet made a firm bid for the Brazil-born Spain international.
