Out of the crop of new arrivals in the Premier League at the start of the season, none went on to have an impact as big as Diego Costa. The Spaniard arrived at Stamford Bridge from Atletico Madrid for the tidy sum of £32 million.

He wasted no time making a name for himself and settling in, unlike many other players, and his future looks very bright at Chelsea for the 26 year old. From the get-go, Costa started scoring goals left, right and centre, and he proved himself to be more than a handful for the opposition. No other player has managed to ruffle feathers quite like Costa this year, seeing him often make headlines for his antics which saw him get under the skin of almost every defensive line in the country.


Considering Costa spent lengthy spells on the sidelines (a combination of suspensions and a niggling hamstring issue), the forward had a remarkable season leading the line for Chelsea. It is partly due to his goal scoring ability, physical strength and work ethic that Chelsea largely dominated the league and also lifted the Capital One Cup.


He may be hated by many and involved in every controversial moment on the pitch, but there is no denying his ability and it will be intriguing to see how teams try to contain Costa next season.

Here are 10 interesting facts about the aggressive, hard nosed and skilled Chelsea striker.


1.)He was not coached until the age of 16.

Costa first learnt the game on the streets of his hometown playing against those much bigger than him. He then moved to Sao Paulo, where his uncle encouraged him to join the local team where he became an instant success despite never receiving any coaching. His physical style may well come from this early introduction he had to the game.

2.)He was 18 when he joined his first professional club, Braga in Portugal.

Whilst in Sao Paulo, Costa met agent Jorge Mendes who took the teenager to Europe where he would sign for S.C Brage in Portugal. He would join the reserves before being loaned to F.C Penafiel in the second division, but he would soon be snapped up by Atletico Madrid in 2006. Costa would be loaned out over the next few years before returning to Atletico in 2010, as back up for Sergio Aguero and Diego Forlan.


3.) In domestic leagues he has picked up 64 yellow cards.

Costa has a habit of getting under opponents skin and he is famous for his hard nosed, physical play. This sees him clash with the opposition (and the referees) often, and this means that he is booked on a regular basis. In domestic leagues, Costa has picked up a whopping 64 yellow cards but has only been sent off 3 times in league play. This includes 8 yellow cards in the league this season, and this will be something that Mourinho tries to address this summer to avoid another suspension.


4.)He and Jose Mourinho have the same agent.

After a breakout season at Atletico Madrid, Diego Costa became a target for many of the top clubs in Europe. He would end up at Chelsea, and the fact that he and Mourinho share the same agent may have aided in this. Both are represented by influential agent Jorge Mendes, who has other clients that include Cristiano Ronaldo, David De Gea, Angel Di Maria and Pepe.


5.) He played 2 games for Brazil before changing to the Spanish national team.

Costa was born in Brazil before moving to Europe when he was a teenager, and he was granted Spanish nationality in July 2013. He played 2 games for the Brazilian national team, but upon being granted Spanish nationality he requested a change and now has made 7 appearances for the Spanish team (and 1 goal). He is consequently not popular in Brazil, and was booed by the fans at the World Cup last summer.


6.)He has won 6 trophies with Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

The 26 year old looks set to have a very bright future ahead of him and you can see him lifting plenty more trophies in the next few years. He already has 6 trophies to his name, doing the league and domestic cup double this season. Prior to this, Costa had lifted the La Liga title (2013/14), the UEFA Super Cup (2010 & 2012) and the Copa Del Rey (2012/13). Like most top players, Costa will look to add the Champions League trophy to his collection next season, having come close in 2013/14 when Atletico fell to Real Madrid in the final.


7.) He fired Atletico to their first La Liga trophy since 1996.

2013/14 proved to be a breakout season for Diego Costa, and his excellent goal scoring helped fire Atletico to their first La Liga trophy since 1996. Costa scored 27 league goals, making him the 3rd highest scorer in the division. He would also score against his current employers in the Champions League, helping Atletico advance to the final for the first time since 1974. It was quite a year for Diego and Atletico, and he has not looked back since.


8.) This season he had a minute per goal ratio of 104.1

Although Costa contributes more than just goals, this is a large reason that Chelsea spent so much money on the striker. In the league this season Costa managed an impressive minutes per goal ratio of 104.1, making him one of the deadliest and most efficient players in the league. He managed 37 shots on target and created 41 chances in domestic competition, and you can expect much more of the same next season.


9.) He scored 20 goals in his first season in the Premier League.

Many strikers take time to adjust to the Premier League (Soldado being the obvious example), but not Costa. He scored in his first 4 competitive matches for Chelsea, including a hat-trick in the 4th game, and also picked up Player of the Month in August. He would go on to net 20 goals in the league in 26 appearances, earning him a selection to the PFA Team of the Year along with 5 of his teammates.


10.) He is Chelsea’s joint 2nd most expensive signing.

Diego Costa joined Chelsea from Atletico Madrid in July 2014 for a tidy sum of £32 million. This makes him the joint 2nd most expensive signing for the Blues along with Eden Hazard, with fellow Spaniard Fernando Torres topping the list at £50 million in 2011. Torres managed 20 league goals in 4 years at Stamford Bridge, with Costa matching that total in just 26 league appearances.

Petr Cech has remained one of the best goalkeepers in world football throughout his entire career, and this is still the case despite the 33 year old losing his starting place to the highly talented Thibaut Courtois last season.

Cech has now made a high profile switch to London rivals Arsenal in a quest for first-team football, and he will no doubt continue to impress and could prove to be a pivotal player for the Gunners next season as they look to challenge for the title. Chelsea could therefore rue the day that they sold a player of his talent to their fierce rivals.

The 6’5 keeper from Czechoslovakia has had a long and fascinating career, playing for Chmel Blsany, Sparta Prague and Rennes before joining Chelsea in 2004. Here he has gone on to have a remarkable career between the sticks and he has been a key figure in helping to transform them into 1 of the top teams in Europe. The Blues will be sad to see a club legend who is 6th on their all-time appearances list leave, and particularly to a rival, but Cech still has a chapter of his career to finish and will surely walk away from the game as 1 of the all-time great goalkeepers.


Here are 10 interesting facts about the man behind the mask, Petr Cech.


10.) He is a triplet.
Petr Cech was born on the 20th of May, 1982 at Plzen, Czechoslovakia. He was born a triplet along with his brother Michal and his sister Sarka, but sadly his brother would die at 2 years old after contracting an infection from hospital. Due to the fact that Cech is a triplet, it means that his skull is slightly thinner than the average persons and it may have contributed to the severity of the head injury he suffered in 2006. It is also part of the reason why he now wears his famous head mask, but despite this he bravely carries on playing and will not hesitate to put his body on the line.

9.) He married in 2003 and has a son and a daughter.
Cech has gone from growing up under communism in his home country to becoming a world famous professional footballer. He is also now a family man and his children will have a much different upbringing to him being raised in Surrey. Cech married Martina Dolejsova (also of Czech nationality) in 2003, and they now have a son and daughter together. Daughter Adela was born in 2008, whilst their son Damian was born in 2009 and they were both born in Petr and Martina’s home country.

8.) He is a keen drummer.
You do not have to watch Petr Cech in-between the sticks for very long to realise that he is certainly a talented individual. His talents do not stop here however, as in addition to being 1 of the best goalkeepers of his generation; Cech is also a talented drummer. He has a YouTube channel which he regularly posts drum covers on, including “Best of You” by the Foo Fighters and “Magnificent” by U2. Now that he has joined Arsenal, they could perhaps start their own team band with Oxlade-Chamberlain also a keen drummer and Alexis Sanchez a talented piano player.


7.) He can speak several different languages.
As well as being a highly talented goalkeeper and keen drummer, Cech can also speak in several different languages. The exact number is not entirely clear, but in addition to his native Czech it is thought to include English, French, German, Slovakian, Portuguese, Spanish and Russian. Not only is this incredibly impressive, it is also particularly valuable for a modern day footballer. Clubs like Chelsea (and Arsenal) have players and staff from many different areas of the world, and this makes communication much, much easier both on the pitch as well as in the dressing room.

6.) He nearly moved to Arsenal in 2002.
Petr Cech has just secured a move to Arsenal for a fee of £10 million. This is due to Cech losing on his starting spot to Thibaut Courtois at Chelsea, and it is certainly a good bit of business by Arsenal who have lacked a high quality keeper for many years. It is not the first time that Cech was on the brink of joining the North London side however, as he almost signed for them in 2002 from Sparta thanks to his impressive international performances. The deal fell through due to work permit difficulties, and he instead joined Rennes. It is interesting to think how different things would be for both clubs had he joined the Gunners in the early stages of his career.


5.) He won the Champions League Best Goalkeeper 3 times.
It is not just in the Premier League where Cech has excelled, he has also proven his abilities in the biggest club competition in the world. The Champions League sees the top teams in Europe battle it out each year, and this means that this is a competition where all the best goalkeepers in the world play. Cech won the best goalkeeper of the competition 3 times (2005, 2007 & 2008), with the awards being stopped after the 2008/09 season. Had the awards continued, he surely would have added another to his tally after his heroics in 2011/12 when Chelsea beat Bayern Munich on penalties where he saved 2 efforts (as well as 1 in extra time).

4.) He holds the Premier League record for fewest appearances to reach 100 clean sheets.
It is no secret that Cech has been 1 of the top keepers in the Premier League since arriving in 2004. He is an intelligent keeper who rarely makes mistakes, and he is also an excellent shot stopper and will put his body on the line for his team. He holds the Premier League record for fewest appearances to reach 100 clean sheets, achieving this in just 180 league appearances. Having a strong back 4 in front of you also helps, but it is certainly an impressive feat and 1 which will take some beating.

3.) He suffered a life threatening injury in 2006.
Whilst Cech is famous for his remarkable ability and the records and honours he has won over his career, he is also famous for suffering a life threatening injury back in 2006. In a game against Reading in October, he collided with Reading’s Stephen Hunt in the 1st minute of the game. Hunt’s knee crashed into Cech’s skull, causing the keeper to remain motionless and it quickly became apparent that it was a very serious injury. Cech would require emergency brain surgery after it was discovered that he had suffered a depressed skull fracture. Cech would return to football 3 months later and has since worn the famous head guard to offer protection to his skill which is already thinner than the average persons. This life threatening injury has not impacted his play, but it has helped to change the approach to head injuries sustained on the pitch.

2.) He set a Premier League record for minutes without letting in a goal in 2005.
Between the 12th of December 2004 and the 5th of March 2005, Petr Cech cemented himself as 1 of the greatest goalkeepers in Premier League history by not letting in a single league goal in this period. This was a staggering 1,025 minutes of play and is a perfect example of the huge force that Cech is in-between the posts. Cech would win the Golden Glove at the end of the season after keeping a record 21 clean sheets that season, and Chelsea would also only concede 15 league goals that season. Cech’s whopping 1,025 minutes without conceding has since been topped by Edwin van der Sar.


1.) He has won 13 trophies with Chelsea.
Petr Cech is somewhat of a legend at Stamford Bridge, and his consistency and reliability in between the posts has helped turn Chelsea into 1 of the top teams in Europe. Since joining in 2004, Cech has won a whopping 13 trophies during his time at Chelsea. This includes 4 Premier League titles, 4 F.A Cups, 3 Football League Cups, 1 Europa League and 1 Champions League trophy. Although he has lost his starting spot, he will be sorely missed around Stamford Bridge and it marks the end of an era.

Think of what anyone is doing at the moment that is bringing a lot of profit,then find ways of how to do it better than them

seek advice,think carefully before you act.but london south bank is a good university .

I strongly believe we all should always take our time before saying anything on nairaland,if a man wants to bring up is children in is ways wht is wrong with tht.how many of us here knows that most knife and gun crimes in the uk is caused by children from 10-18 years old and 80% of them are africans.we should seriously think abt things before saying them.if the man believes thts the best way for his children why would anyone things he is stupid.are u telling me the man doesnt like the children thts why he is sending them to grandmum,obviosly he has seen it from a bigger picture and he doesnt want to have his family name destroyed.

@ poster, firstly your view is what you think abt your relatives, but have you really checked urself and see what you are not doin right to get that kind of reception from your relative.The much called illegal immigrant cannot see themselves coming back to nigeria to become a bus conductor and they are coping with what fate God has decided for them.There are alot of europeans,asian south americans around the world  they dont have views like this abt there fellow country men.you dont know every Nigerian living in uk so dont generally think the same abt everyone[i][/i]
