Diego Costa: Wolves' announcement video for Spaniard may be the best of 2022

Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced the signing of Diego Costaon a one-year deal.

The Spaniard has been available on a free transfer since leaving Atlético Mineiro in January.

The move to Wolves has been in the pipeline for some time but the deal was finally confirmed on Monday afternoon.

And Wolves revealed the completion of the deal with a truly brilliant announcement video.

Costa is seen holding a chained pack of wolves in the video.

They don’t look too friendly – with one of them baring its teeth at the camera.

The clip then ends with the camera focusing on Costa, with the caption ‘Diego is a wolf’.

Costa could well make his first outing for
