Diego Costa lands surprise Premier League return despite end of transfer window

Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa is set to link up with Wolves after £15million new boy Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a devastating knee injury.

Kalajdzic, 25, suffered anterior cruciate ligament damage in the 1-0 win against Southampton at Molineux on Saturday. The Austrian only joined Wolves from Stuttgart last Wednesday and it's feared he will now miss most of the season.

Wolves manager Bruno Lage is short of options up front with Raul Jimenez, 31, his only recognised striker after young star Fabio Silva joined Anderlecht on loan. Mexico international Jimenez also suffered a groin complaint in the warm-up before Saturday's game. As such, Wolves have moved quickly to offer Costa, 33, the chance to prove he can still cut it in the Premier League.
