# Wolves: Fans react to Diego Costa link

**Wolverhampton Wanderers are keeping a close eye on free agent striker Diego Costa, according to [UOL](https://www.uol.com.br/esporte/colunas/mercado-da-bola/2021/06/17/wolverhampton-avalia-a-contratacao-de-diego-costa.htm?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social-media&utm_content=geral&utm_campaign=esporte) journalist Bruno Andrade.**

Costa’s contract at Atletico Madrid was [terminated at the end of December](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/55476267), and he has been a free agent ever since.

The Spaniard agreed to rip up the deal six months early after marking [only two La Liga starts](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-costa/leistungsdaten/spieler/44779/saison/2020/wettbewerb/ES1) prior to Christmas.

He has, of course, played in the Premier League before, enjoying a three-year spell at Chelsea from 2014 to 2017.

Costa landed two titles in that time and scored [52 goals in 89 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/diego-costa/leistungsdaten/spieler/44779/saison/2020/wettbewerb/ES1).

### Lage assembles his striking options at Wolves

Bruno Lage, newly appointed as Nuno Espirito Santo’s successor at Molineux, will evaluate Costa with a view to a possible move.

Wolves are set to welcome striker Raul Jimenez back into the fold next season after he missed much of the 2020/21 campaign with a [fractured skull](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/raul-jimenez/verletzungen/spieler/206040), while teenager Fabio Silva is also an option in the forward ranks.

Fan feed [Talking Wolves](https://twitter.com/TalkingWolves/status/1405646519970283525) relayed the Costa report, and here’s how fans reacted.
