Franco Lautaro Costa (born 10 December 1991) is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Primera B Nacional side San Martín.[1][2]

Career

Costa's career started with Luján,[3] prior to moving to Arsenal de Sarandí in 2013.[1][2] In that same year, he was loaned out to Primera B Metropolitana side Flandria for six months.[1] He returned to Arsenal in 2015 and featured in eight Argentine Primera División fixtures, including his debut for the club in a 0–0 draw with Lanús on 8 March.[1][4] He was subsequently, in July, sent out on loan once again, this time to Tristán Suárez of Primera B Metropolitana. He scored six goals in thirteen games for Tristán Suárez.[1] In January 2017, Costa almost joined China League One club Nei Mongol Zhongyou.[5][6]

However, the move to China fell through and Costa subsequently rejoined former side Flandria, now in Primera B Nacional.[7] On 2 August, Costa left Flandria to join San Martín.[1][8] His debut came against Ferro Carril Oeste on 16 September in Primera B Nacional, it was also his 100th career league appearance.[1]
