David Luiz wants Chelsea striker Diego Costa at PSG

Paris Saint-Germain defender David Luiz admits he would love to see Diego Costa join the club.

Former Blues star Luiz believes the Brazilian-born Spanish striker would be a great fit for the French giants who are in danger of losing Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the summer.

27-year-old Costa continues to be linked with former club Atletico Madrid but his former Brazil international teammate Luiz feels Parc des Princes would be the best destination for fiery attacker.

"Diego is one of the most clinical strikers in Europe, he would be a welcome addition to any team," said Luiz.

"I think PSG have made their intent clear over the last three or four seasons, that we only add the best player.

"If Diego decides he has had enough of England and wants a new challenge, of course he would be welcome here."

Luiz added: "Diego and myself have had our clashes on the field, but you must understand there are two Diego's.

"On the field he is physical, he is confrontational, he will get in your face, that is part of his game.

"Off the field he is a good friend, one of the nicest guys you can meet, somebody I would go to dinner with."
