#10 Diego Costa

Chelsea forward Diego Costa was definitely not at his best for Chelsea last season, but if his start to this season is anything to go by, the angry Spanish forward is one of the favourites to win the Premier League golden boot this season.

At the start of the 2015/16 season, Costa like most of the Chelsea squad struggled under Jose Mourinho, but ever since Conte has taken over, Diego Costa looks like a player reborn.

A player similar in playing style to Didier Drogba, Costa’s physical attributes and get in your face attitude has proved to be a nightmare for defenders in the Premier League and although he might step out of the line a few times, there is no question on the quality of Costa as a striker.

Diego Costa has scored 9 goals in 11 Premier League appearances and Conte and Chelsea fans will be hoping that Costa continues his good form for the rest of the season and guide Chelsea to the Premier League title.
