Chelsea have been denied a Premier League reunion with Diego Costa. The 33-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to Wolves this summer via a free transfer.
Costa is currently a free agent after his deal with former club Atletico-MG expire a few months ago. Initially, it didn't look as if the Spain international would land a return to British soil but, following a long-term injury to Sasa Kalajdzic, Bruno Lage identified the talisman as an emergency placeholder who could be signed outside of the transfer window.
The former Blues striker looked poised to take Stamford Bridge by storm once more, with Chelsea set to lock horns with Wolves in just a month's time. But, according to Sky Sports, Costa has had his work permit application rejected due to not having enough points.
