Wolves COMPLETE audacious swoop for Diego Costa on a one-year deal to ease their striker woes... with Bruno Lage having lined up Andy Carroll in reserve in case the deal fell through!

Wolves have completed a deal for former Chelsea striker Diego Costa until the end of the season.

The 33-year-old had been without a club since January, having left Brazil's Atletico Mineiro.

With Wolves having seen summer signing Sasa Kalajdzic suffer an ACL injury on his debut, meaning he risks missing the rest of the season, Bruno Lage needed reinforcements and has pulled off an audacious free transfer to land Costa.
