Following the news that Leeds United have signed Helder Costa on a permanent deal, a number of Wolves fans have praised his time at their club.

Costa joined Leeds on loan from Wolves 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, and plenty of their fans wished him well.

Leeds currently sit one point clear at the top of the Championship table with five games left to play, and up next for Marcelo Bielsa’s charges is Stoke City at Elland Road on Thursday evening.
