Logan Costa (born 1 April 2001) is a professional footballer who plays as a centre-back for Ligue 1 club Toulouse.[1] Born in France, he plays for the Cape Verde national team.

Early life

Costa was born in Saint-Denis, Île-de-France,[2][3] in a family of Cape Verdean descent.[4][5]

Club career

Having started to play football in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise, Logan Costa joined Reims's youth academy in 2016.[6][7]

A player in Reims's Championnat National 2 reserve starting in the 2018–19 season, Costa captained the side during the following campaign.[5][6][8][9] With a few appearances in the pro squad for the Ligue 1 games,[10] he was loaned to Championnat National side Le Mans for the 2020–21 season.[2][8]

With Le Mans newly-relegated from Ligue 2, he was one of the standout players in the team, and a revelation of the Championnat National, starting and playing the entirety of 26 games, as the club only narrowly missed the promotion play-offs.[2][3][4][11][12]

After this promising loan spell, Costa was offered a contract extension by Reims, but chose to look elsewhere in search of more game time.[3][4] With one year left on his contract, several clubs from France, Italy and Germany were interested by the young centre-back,[2][3][12] but he was eventually transferred to the Toulouse in August 2021.[2][11][13][14]

Costa made his professional debut for Toulouse on 13 November 2021, starting and playing every minute of a penalty shoot-out victory over Libourne in the Coupe de France, in which he helped his team keep a clean sheet.[15][16][17] Starting the season behind Rasmus Nicolaisen, Bafodé Diakité and Anthony Rouault, with a team aiming for promotion,[18][19] Costa first only made bench appearances in Ligue 2.[20] However, he established himself as a regular starter in the Coupe de France, even scoring his first goal against Trélissac.[20][21][22]

International career

An international with France under-16s and under-17s,[8][12][13] Costa was also selected for the French under-19s and under-20s, without playing any official games in a period where most of them where canceled due to COVID-19.[5][6][11][14]

On 16 March 2022, he received his first international call-up for the Cape Verde national team.[23][24] He debuted with Cape Verde in a 2–0 friendly win over Guadeloupe.[25]
