Chelsea's £32million pound summer signing Diego Costa has hit the ground running at Stamford Bridge, and announced himself as one of the best strikers in the league with his power and clinical eye for goal helping him to score 4 goals in his first 3 games under new manager Jose Mourinho in the Premier League.

As a result of his early season form, Costa has been awarded the Barclays Premier League Player of the Month for August after goals against Burnley, Leicester and Everton. His goals have seen Chelsea start a frightening pace, winning all three games and scoring eleven goals in the process.

His signing has already been praised as one of the best in the league, with many supporters and critics alike suggesting that he could help Chelsea win the Premier League this season - seeing as they are the favourites to go all the way.
