Liverpool or Everton must sign Chelsea striker Diego Costa - Joey Barton
Barton said on talkSPORT: “If I’m Liverpool or Everton I’m doing everything I can to sign Diego Costa. I’m coming in now to Chelsea saying ‘look, you’re clearly prepared to do it having sold [Nemanja] Matic to a title rival in Man United’.
“Liverpool are crying out for a forward of Costa’s ilk and so are Everton. If they want to get into that top four consistently and do well in the Champions League – Everton in the Europa League – you could do a lot worse than Diego Costa.
“He (Costa) knows the model – he’s done it consistently over the last few years.
“If I was Ronald Koeman or Jurgen Klopp I’d be on the phone to Chelsea trying to get that done.”
