I don't think we're in for Costa, just doesn't seem likely.

He's missed all pre-season, so would take at least 6 weeks to get in shape - leaving us paying a large wedge of his contract for 3 months of him playing at 70% - as to not risk an injury for his return to Atletico.
 
We're really stockpiling young players.

Sandro
Lookman
Calvert-Lewin
Davies
Holgate
Vlasic
Dowell
Kenny
Williams
Walsh
Onyekuru
Markelo
Gibson
Bowler
Donkor
Mathis
Connolly
Robinson
Sambou
Foulds
Galloway
Pennington

Gets pretty iffy down the bottom there obviously but that's a loooot of talented young players. That's only including players who (I think) we've either bought, or have had senior experience somewhere. Monaco's change in strategy a few years ago was basically 'get loads of great kids and assume a bunch will make it', so hopefully our long-term recruitment is better than our short-term.
