Douglas Costa de Souza

Douglas Costa bursts down the right, attacks space and drives crosses from the wing. Costa began at Shakhtar Donetsk, earning European attention with rapid bursts. He thrives in high-tempo wing play. Costa moved to Bayern Munich in 2015, winning the Bundesliga and establishing a reputation for decisive one-twos. That period sharpened his ability to cut inside and finish moves. Costa’s style centers on pressing high and creating separation with quick bursts, while linking play with one-touch layoffs. At the international level, Costa represented Brazil at the 2018 World Cup. Now at ChievoVerona, Douglas Costa remains a high-leverage attacking outlet when space appears.
