He has now sealed a return to England, where he spent two successful years at Stamford Bridge.

Wolves were dealt a big blow after their summer signing Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a knee injury on his Premier League debut against Southampton.

Wolves chairman Jeff Shi is excited to have a 'serial winner' at the Molineux.

“We are absolutely delighted to welcome Diego Costa to Wolves and back to the Premier League.

“A serial winner with a wealth of experience at the highest level, Diego will bring something unique to our dressing room and on the pitch, and we look forward to his impact at Molineux.”

Wolves have struggled up front this season, with three goals in their first six games of the season.

Costa's arrival is expected to boost their goal-scoring record.

Diego Costa is motivated about his return to the Premier League and also wishes Sasa Kalajdzic a quick recovery.

"It [my signing] wasn't in the best terms possible on account of a player's injury,"

"I can only wish him nothing but the best for him.

"But when he [manager, Bruno Lage] told me about returning to the Premier League since this a championship I have related to quite a bit, always liked it and followed.

"No matter how much I enjoyed playing in Madrid, I felt discouraged, but this motivated me. It lit that fire within me."

The 33-year-old scored 59 goals in 120 appearances for Chelsea and also won the Premier League title in 2017.

Costa is expected to make his Wolves debut against Manchester City on Saturday.
