Leeds United have signed Helder Costa.
Leeds United have announced the signing of Helder Costa on a season-long loan, following an epic teaser on the club’s Twitter account.
The Wolverhampton Wanderers winger had been heavily linked with a move to Leeds, whose promotional video for Deliveroo ended with a massive hint that an announcement was imminent.
United confirmed a partnership extension with the food delivery company, but the video seems to be a conduit for something far more exciting.
The video depicts a Deliveroo worker walking through the offices at the club, but he wasn’t delivering food, but a coffee cup from Costa.
And the Whites’ owner Andrea Radrizzani responded to the video by posting ‘clapping hands’ emojis.
Website Wolves Bite claim that the Elland Road club are paying £2 million to sign the Portuguese winger on a season-long loan, while the Molineux club later confirmed that the transfer would become permanent in a year from now.
Costa is Leeds’ fifth signing this week already, after captures of Jack Harrison, Ben White and Liam McCarron were announced, while Jack Clarke has re-signed on loan after joining Tottenham Hotspur.
The only permanent deal of the five is McCarron, who has signed from Carlisle United.
