A number of Leeds United fans are excited about what the future holds for Helder Costa under Marcelo Bielsa after the Elland Road side announced the 26-year-old’s permanent move.

Costa joined Leeds on loan from Wolverhampton Wanderers last summer with a view to a permanent switch, which was confirmed by the Whites on Tuesday as the Portugal international signed a contract until 2024.

According to BBC Sport, Costa – who has made 43 appearances for Leeds in all competitions, scoring four goals and claiming six assists – has made the move for £16million.

The 5ft 10in winger came through the ranks and began his career at Benfica, taking on loans at Deportivo la Coruna and Monaco before linking up with Wolves in the summer of 2016.

Costa joined the Molineux side on loan initially but it was made permanent the following January for a then club record £13million fee.

He leaves Wolves having made 109 competitive appearances for the club, registering 19 goals and 19 assists.

Although Costa’s tally of goals and assists hasn’t been much to shout about this term, some Leeds fans hope he will develop under Bielsa the same way Jack Harrison has dome.

Below is some of the reaction on social media to the announcement:
