This is almost 100% an agent trying to sell his player piece but since people won't stop asking here's a thread for you to argue about King Shithouser.
Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho could be reunited with Diego Costa after Atletico Madrid put the former Chelsea striker up for sale.
Costa helped Chelsea win two Premier League title under Mourinho between 2014 and 2017, and the pair remain in close contact.
Spurs are in the market for another centre-forward to provide additional firepower alongside England captain Harry Kane.
Mourinho has been linked with a swoop for Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson, but Tottenham have yet to make a bid, with the Cherries expected to demand a big fee.
Costa would be a much cheaper alternative, as the 31-year-old is into the final year of his contract with Atletico.
Premier League games all set to be televised as Saturday 3pm blackout lifted for season
Tottenham are believed to have concerns over his age and fitness - as well as his form, with the Spain international having scored just five goals last season.
However, he would add aggression to a Spurs team which Mourinho has often criticised for being too soft, and is understood to be open to a move to north London.
Costa is one of several players Atleti have put up for sale, with the La Liga side keen to cash in on Costa rather lose him for nothing next summer.
Mourinho would face competition for his signature from Benfica, who have enquired about the player’s availability, but they are not the only other club interested.
Spurs have already brought in midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and goalkeeper Joe Hart this summer, and look set to sign Wolves full-back Matt Doherty in a £15m transfer which should be announced in the coming days.
But Mourinho is also keen to sign a centre forward who can not only provide competition and back-up to Kane, but also another option as Tottenham face the added commitments of Europa League football next season.
