#3 Douglas Costa (Bayern Munich to Juventus)

FC Barcelona v Juventus - UEFA Champions League
The Brazilian made a similar switch, to Turin, to the one that got Rodriguez to Munich.

On the same day that James Rodriguez made his way in, Douglas Costa made his way out of Munich and into Turin. A similar deal to the Colombian's saw him move away on loan (fee totalling £5.4 million), with a permanent deal already in place for the summer (for an additional £36 million).

The Brazilian has great ball control and an even more impressive acceleration from a standing start position. He has tormented the Italian defences, who must've gotten sick of the sight of him, in the limited time he has had to impress in the Serie A.

Costa has been impressive in the league, taking part in 7 goals in 17 appearances for Juventus, and has also notched up another goal in the Coppa Italia.

His latest exploits came in the Champions League round of 16 tie against Tottenham Hotspur when he made Serge Aurier and Davinson Sánchez Mina look like amateurs as he flew past them without any difficulty whatsoever before he was brought down in the box by the former. The resulting penalty was whacked against the bar by Gonzalo Higuain.

The speedster is still only 27 and has another 5 or 6 years on the top. Stay still and the sounds of groans by the defenders will certainly reach your ears.
