the Chelsea striker has a big fan in fellow Premier
League forward Salomon Rondon.
Costa is not afraid to go toe-to-toe with his
markers to try and get an advantage, a philosophy
that has paid dividends with 52 league goals since
moving to Stamford Bridge.
And his approach has not gone unnoticed by
Rondon, who continues to impress for West Brom,
top-scoring for the Baggies with eight this season.
Speaking to Omnisport, Rondon said: "Diego
Costa fights all of the time!
"He's a striker, amazing player.
"I saw his movements, I saw his finishing, I always
learn about the movements of other strikers."
And Costa is not the only Chelsea striker Rondon
takes inspiration from, club legend Didier Drogba -
scorer of 170 goals in 389 appearances in all
competitions - is also an idol for the 27-year-old.
He added: "Someone I liked to watch is Drogba.
Didier Drogba was an amazing striker when he
was at Chelsea.
"But now, my style, maybe [Christian] Benteke.
He's a tall, strong player. But I always watch other
strikers."
