‘Utter madness’ - Wolves reaction as Diego Costa arrives in England for medical ahead of proposed move

Former Chelsea and Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa will head to Compton Park today to take part in a medical ahead of a proposed move to Wolves.

Yes, you read that right.

The 33-year-old who was most recently playing for Atletico Mineiro in Brazil, will sign a contract at Molineux until June 2023 if a medical is passed with no complications.

Costa will provide much needed squad depth for the gold and black who have just lost deadline day signing Sasa Kalajdzic to a potential season-ending ACL injury.

Here’s a snippet of what the Wolves faithful have had to say about Costa’s proposed transfer.

What Wolves fans have been saying

@pedalsingh “This is the weirdest time to be a @Wolves fan Striker finally signed for £15m Does his ACL in 45mins And bring in Diego Costa UTTER MADNESS”

@BC1877: “I know he’s past it and he’ll probably get more cards than goals but it really is a pinch me moment when Wolves are in a position to sign someone like Diego Costa”

@RDStarr1: “Not sure how I feel about this. I just hope we get a decent version of Costa. We certainly need that fire up front. Feels like a needs must sort of move, hopefully works out well.”

@molineuxmusings: “I don’t care if he doesn’t score a single goal for us, just please hold it up when it gets played in to you.”

@NewtonAndy: “For me, if he passes his medical, I’d take him in a heartbeat. Experienced player who know how to score goals. He also p*sses off the opposition, which isn’t a bad thing either!”

@AdamFellows11: “If he’s fit will do a job. World class striker in his prime. Absolute lunatic but I’d love to see him in action Smart business to cover until @Silva_Fabio & Sasa are back.”

@wolvesbradders: “Diego Costa. If we can get him fully fit and fired up that’s a cracking signing. Bit of experience around the place. And nailed on to upset plenty of opponents. Lovely.”

@__Conall__: “Diego Costa is one of those players you’d dream to sign for your club, I don’t care how old he is, I’m ecstatic”
