Scouting Report & Player Insights
Logan Costa is a tall, physically imposing centre-back who moved to Villarreal after impressing at Toulouse, where his aggression in duels and aerial presence stood out. Born in France but capped internationally by Cape Verde, he reads the game with a defensive-first mentality, prioritising duels, interceptions and organisation over expansive distribution. At Villarreal he has continued to develop as a dependable option in a LaLiga backline that asks defenders to be comfortable both defending directly and building from deep.
