Wilkins: Chelsea striker Diego Costa a real throw back

Former Chelsea coach Ray Wilkins has hailed their new strikers Loic Remy and Diego Costa.

Wilkins particularly enjoys watching Diego Costa in action.

Wilkins told the Daily Express: "Costa... He's a throwback - a centre forward who gets stuck into centre halves but whose movement is superb as well.

"People thought he was a naughty boy. Jose doesn't mind naughty boys. I think he quite enjoys them.

"Another little pearler was the signing of Loic Remy. He is proven, too. This works to the detriment, of the young men coming through. But when you're at a big club like Chelsea, it's how things are."
