Diego Costa is the Premier League’s best striker, with his confidence setting him apart from his top-flight rivals in the eyes of Chelsea legend Kerry Dixon.
The Spain international has been in sparkling form this season and sits top of the Premier League goalscoring chart with 14 goals and five assists in 19 appearances.
Antonio Conte’s side sit top of the table as a result of Costa’s contribution to the collective cause, with defeat at Tottenham on Wednesday breaking a 13-match winning run.
Dixon – a man who knows all about finding the target for Chelsea after netting 193 times for the club – believes Costa is currently a cut above the rest of the Premier League’s striking pack, with leading lights at Manchester City, Spurs and Manchester United unable to touch him.
