The Portuguese winger lit up Molineux last season, scoring 12 goals and making another 11 for his teammates.
So good was Costa’s form in the fist half of 2016-17 that Wolves paid a then club record £13 million to sign him permanently from parent club Monaco.
The 23-year-old’s campaign was cut short a month early, however, and by the time of his return to action in late September, Wolves were a team transformed.
The fine form of Ivan Cavaleiro and Diogo Jota has restricted Costa to six starts all season, the latest of which came against Brentford on Tuesday.
