Diego Costa has responded to Eden Hazard's old Chelsea remark and has explained Premier League return decision for Wolves ahead of his second debut against Man City.
The 33-year-old was signed on a short-term deal to compensate for the huge loss the Molineux clubs suffered with their big summer addition Sasa Kalajdzic, who injured his ACL in the 1-0 Southampton win. The Austrian striker has undergone surgery on his knee and is already on a long journey to recovery. There has been no timeframe on his full recovery but the emergency signing of the twice Premier League winner suggests that the tall number 9 will not be back in contention for quite a while.
This, therefore, gives the former Spain International a chance to make his second bout in the English top flight, having racked up a total of 82 goal contributions in the colours of Chelsea spanning over 120 appearances. As well as having a unique ability to win at the top level, as demonstrated by the three trophies won during his time in West London, Costa always had a personality which adhered him well to his teammates. No more so than the likes of Eden Hazard, David Luiz, Oscar and Willian who have labelled Wolves' new talismanic figure as the 'king of jokers,' It's a remark that the player in question himself agrees with.
