ARSENAL could make a shock move for former Chelsea star Diego Costa, according to reports.
The striker, 33, is available on a free transfer after terminating his contract with Atletico Mineiro.
And the Spaniard has held informal talks with several clubs about a transfer including Arsenal, report Goal.
But The Gunners have not submitted an official proposal to Costa – who has received an offer from LaLiga side Cadiz.
Brazilian clubs Corinthians and Sao Paolo are also believed to be interested in the forward.
Costa only joined Atletico Mineiro last summer but could be ready for a return to Europe.
And Arsenal are in need of a striker after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang was frozen out of the first-team before he left for the Africa Cup of Nations.
There is also speculation linking Eddie Nketiah with a transfer exit this month.
Bayer Leverkusen and Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in the young striker whose contract expires in the summer.

Mikel Arteta is also desperate to bring in a midfielder with a move for Juventus’ Arthur Melo in the works.
