Ex-Chelsea forward Tony Cascarino has warned Wolves against the signing of free-agent and Spanish forward Diego Costa.
Chelsea legend Tony Cascarino has warned Wolves about the signing of Diego Costa; considering the baggage the former Atletico man brings.
The striker spent three years playing for Chelsea between 2014 and 2017. In that time he made 120 appearances in all competitions and recorded 59 goals to his name.
Costa has often found himself in hot water thanks to his antics on and off the pitch.
He recently terminated his contract with Atletico Madrid and is now a free-agent with the January window having just started.
Amid reports linking Costa to Wolves, Nuno Santo has already said the club are ready to make necessary decisions regarding transfers.
On paper, Costa could indeed be a good signing for Wolves but Cascarino has claimed it could be a ‘risky’ move for Wolves.
“I think it’s a very dangerous fit if I’m honest.” he said on Friday’s talkSPORT Breakfast.
“Because of the experience, he had at Chelsea and the way he wanted to leave the club, the way he disappeared.
“Obviously it then turned sour at Atletico and he became a real problem, he played relatively little football this year, he’s only played seven games and got a couple of goals.”
“I don’t know if I could trust him, or trust what he’s going to be like if he came to the football club.”
“If I was getting the Diego Costa who turned up at Chelsea, followed Didier [Drogba], was a real handful – great! The fans loved him at Chelsea, you’d hear his name all around the stadium, he was their favourite player.”
“But the way he handled it, I would be very suspicious of a 32-year-old whose contract has been ripped up.”
