Diego Costa is Back in the Premier League

One of the greatest pantomime villains the Premier League has had in recent years is back as Diego Costa has signed a deal with Bruno Lage’s Wolverhampton Wanderers lasting until the end of the season.
The striker, known for his aggressive playing style, scored 52 goals in 89 appearances for Chelsea in his previous stint in the Premier League. These goals helped the Blues on their way to two Premier League titles and had it not been for a falling out with Antonio Conte, this could have been a much higher tally.
‘El Loco’ arrives at Wolves through necessity as new signing Sasa Kalajdzic has suffered an ACL injury. Can he be the striker to finally provide Wolves with a serious goal threat?
What can be expected of Diego Costa?
Despite his goalscoring pedigree, this signing represents a gamble for Wolves. Costa has not played any football since leaving Atletico Minero in January, a full nine months ago, meaning it’s unknown how he will cope back in the Premier League.
At 33, turning 34 next month, he will not be as dynamic as he once was but, Wolves now have a proven goalscorer at the highest level. Despite his age, few can doubt that he can provide the added fight and goal threat Wolves have been crying out for.
