Wherever Diego Costa played, he scored goals. There were even seasons in which he’d score many goals. But wherever he went, he was one of the most divisive figures. He would provoke opponents, kick them, elbow them, fight and swear and often drew jeers from crowds in Spain and England. The soon-to-be 34-year-old veteran will renew his reputation in England for the rest of the season. He’s just signed for Wolverhampton Wanderers.Costa’s move to Molineux was originally under threat after he failed to qualify for a work permit automatically, but a three-person panel granted him a license after Wolves appealed. He flew into England on Wednesday and had his medical on Thursday.It’s official. ✍️ pic.twitter.com/FXcgReSlsr— Wolves (@Wolves) September 12, 2022 The former Spain international arrives at Wolves as arguably one of their biggest-name signings in their history. He scored 59 goals during a three-year stay at Chelsea between 2014 and 2017, where he won the Premier League and had a distinguished career at the top of the game.Costa’s previous club was Brazilian Serie A outfit Atletico Mineiro, with whom he terminated his contract in January. He last played for them on 5 December last year. After nine months of a quiet life, the Brazilian-born beast will try to roll back the years and make an impact on the big stage again.##NAJAVA_MECA_6641000##Wolves acted fast to bring the free agent as a replacement for the $18 million acquisition Sasa Kalajdzic, who suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury on his debut against Southampton. He will now provide competition for Raul Jimenez, with the Midlands club struggling to find the net regularly. This is likely to be the final contract in a top league for the player who was named the most hated footballer by French newspaper L’Equipe back in 2015. The years have passed, and there is a possibility that the years have made Diego Costa somewhat mellow. But we wouldn’t count on it.
