Now holding fort for Manchester United, the Brazilian has continued in a similar vein while flair players such as Bruno Fernandes and Christian Eriksen focus their efforts on pulling the strings further upfield.

Will be interesting to see if the same thing happens at Man United now. The place was the Arena das Dunas in Natal, Brazil. Like several of his predecessors, the Juventus legend was also more than happy to switch to a more physical, antagonistic approach if it meant keeping his opponents at bay. Most heinous act: There have been some incredibly stiff lunges and industrial tackles over the years, but Chiellini's most wanton act of destruction arguably came in the Euro 2020 final.

Since this is a challenge, a lot of dedication and love on the pitch as I will give the best of me." "It’s not an easy challenge because you’re not going to play in an easy league and you can’t play it the way you want to. On the pitch, Costa claims he will give his all to repay the trust Wolves have shown in him. "I was a little scared then. Holding that chain I kept thinking, ‘What if this wolf thinks about jumping on top of me?’ and then the three of them did. Despite being renowned as a hard man, Costa was feeling quite the opposite.

Wolves Fans' Verdict: Diego Costa signing is low risk and hopefully ... (expressandstar.com)

Following the signing of Diego Costa, our Wolves fans have their say on the club's new striker.

Just having a presence like him in the team and on the pitch will be great for the squad, and worse comes to worse it provides Jimenez with some much-needed competition whilst also taking the pressure off of him slightly. Signing Diego Costa is huge for the club in regards to many things on and off the pitch. I think he will be a great success and a real folk hero who the Molineux faithful are really going to enjoy watching. But back to the player, let’s not pretend that Diego Costa isn’t a premier league legend. This side seriously lacks aggression and Costa will bring that in abundance, he will get the crowd fired up and have defenders second guessing his every move. He's not going to be competing for the golden boot again but, as long as the service is of a good standard, I can see Costa hitting double figures if he stays fit. At 33 Costa is no spring chicken however the world's best are now playing and producing into the latter playing years which makes me think he still has so much to offer. With the long term injury to Sasa Kalajdzic and the long term form of Jimenez, a focal point upfront is needed. Remember the days when we were signing Yanick Sagbo and Grant Holt to try and fill a gap? Now it looks like he will be playing for us, and the shoe is on the other foot, opinions might change. Expecting him to be a prolific scorer is unrealistic; the Wolves approach simply doesn’t accommodate such blandishments. He plays the game “nasty” and he knows where the goal is.

Diego Costa floored Chelsea masseur during impromptu boxing ... (Daily Star)

Diego Costa has returned to the Premier League and all opposition defenders, referees, and masseurs should watch out for the fiery ex-Chelsea forward this ...

On a physical and psychological level, I will need two to three weeks to get back in shape. I had the pleasure to play in it, and return again,” Costa said in his first interview as a Wolves player. It was a combination that brought the Chelsea squad to their feet and left John Terry in stitches. “In my opinion, from experience, the league has the atmosphere, the way the game is played, the stadiums full of supporters, the pitch in perfect condition, the respect that players have for each other. Wolves’ masseur and backroom team may need to start working on the pads in preparation for Costa’s next challenge. It appears all masseurs need to be weary of the former Atletico Madrid hard-man.

From the eye test, he looks as though he is in good shape and has been looking after himself quite well.
