Arsene Wenger have revealed he regrets missing out on the signing of Diego Costa as he looks to quell the Chelsea's striker's rich vein of form against Arsenal on Saturday.
Costa has two goals in three games against the Gunners, all resulting in Chelsea wins.
The Spain International fired Chelsea to the title with 20 goals in his maiden Premier League season and has five goals in as many games this time around under Antonio Conte.
Arsenal fans often complain at Wenger's inability to attract a star striker to the Emirates Stadium and the Frenchman admits his club failed to realise a deal for Costa could have been in the offing when he left the Calderon for London two years ago.
"I never thought he would leave Atletico Madrid at the time, I was surprised," Wenger said."Would I have made a harder play for him had I known? Yes. I like him, as a quality striker."
