Logan Costa

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

Having started to play football in Argenteuil, Val-d'Oise, Costa joined the youth academy of Reims 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 first-team appearances in 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 in signing him.^[2][3][12] He was eventually transferred to 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]

On 22 August 2024, Costa joined La Liga club Villarreal on a six-year deal.^[23] He made his debut for the club on 26 August, coming on as a substitute in a league win over Celta Vigo.^[24] On 14 September, he scored his first goal for Villarreal in a 2–1 victory against Mallorca.^[25]

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

On 16 March 2022, he received his first international call-up for the Cape Verde national team.^[26][27] He debuted with Cape Verde in a 2–0 friendly win over Guadeloupe.^[28] He was later named in Cape Verde's squad for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations,^[29] where he played in all five of their matches before they were eliminated in the quarter-finals.^[30]

On 14 May 2023, Costa reportedly refused to participate in a Ligue 1 match against Nantes due to the game being part of a league-wide campaign against homophobia, with players wearing shirts with rainbow-themed decorations. However, he later denied the allegation that he refused to play in the match.^[31]
