Douglas Costa, who joined LA Galaxy in February last year, has been in some sparkling form for the club alongside former Barcelona man, Riqui Puig this season.

They’ll be hoping to climb up the table with LA Galaxy and compete for the trophy this season.

Douglas Costa yet to open his account for LA Galaxy this season

Since his arrival from Juventus last year, Costa has been an integral part of LA Galaxy’s attack. Primarily loaned out by Juventus to the MLS outfit, his loan was converted into a contractual deal last year. Costa has also been hampered by injuries during last season, but this season he has transformed himself into an integral starter for the club.

Costa has been an important piece in Galaxy’s attack alongside Riqui Puig, Tyler Boyd and Dejan Joveljic. With Galaxy’s attack being involved in a 26-goal contribution for their side, they are looking pretty concrete in terms of their partnership on-pitch. But surprisingly, Douglas Costa is still yet to open his scoring account for LA Galaxy this season, as until now he has been providing for his teammates.
