Elche manager Fran Escribá has compared forward Jonathas to Chelsea’s Diego Costa.
The 25 year-old, who is on loan from Serie B outfit Pescara, has scored five goals in nine appearances so far this season and is highly regarded by Escribá.
“The way he plays, from the players I’ve had, seems to be like Diego Costa,” he said, as reported by Marca.
“He feels comfortable in a struggle and he is very powerful. The bigger the better for us, but the important thing is the collective, not the individual.”
