Wolverhampton Wanderers have made an impressive return to the Premier League this season and are seventh-placed in the table after eight matches.

But attacker Helder Costa is one of the few players that have struggled somewhat adjusting to life in the top flight and has not quite been at his sparkling best.

Manager Nuno Espirto Santo has kept faith with the skilful right-winger, but he is yet to manage a single goal or assist yet in the league.

The 24-year-old may return to Molineux though after the internatonal break in much higher spirits and supporters may see him back to his best.

Costa received the colossal boost of a senior international debut for Portugal on Sunday, as he played the full 90 minutes in a friendly against Scotland.

The pacy wide man marked his first appearance with a goal, as he arrived in the penalty area to tap in a cross.

He was directly involved in 11 Championship goals last season for Wolves in their promotion and needs to start delivering in front of goal if he is to remain an ever-present in Nuno’s side.

Costa has immense competition in the squad for a starting position, with teammate Adama Traore breathing down his neck.
