Terry: Costa proved himself against Chelsea last season

John Terry has backed
Diego Costa to shine at
Chelsea after being
impressed when coming up
against the striker last
season.
Costa completed his move from Atletico Madrid on
Tuesday, two weeks after a deal was agreed to bring
the 25-year-old to the Premier League.
The Brazil-born forward played against Chelsea last
term, scoring in the second leg of a Champions
League semi-final as Atleti triumphed 3-1 on
aggregate.
And Costa’s efforts over the two legs were enough to
convince Terry that he has what it takes to make an
impact in the Premier League.
“First of all, his movement and his strength are really
good – I was really surprised by it,” Terry told
Chelsea’s official website.
“I think everyone remembers the square-up we had
in the first 10 minutes of the first leg of our semi-final
game against Atletico Madrid last season, after which
I thought, ‘fair play’.
“He holds the ball up very well, he has got great
movement and he is really physical, but he is very
clever with his strength and the way he uses his
body. I think he could be a very good signing for us
