"He has that personality": Bruno Lage admits what he expects from Diego Costa

Diego Costa has made a pernament move to Wolves on a free transfer in the summer transfer window.

The Spaniard signed a contract which will keep him at the Molineux Stadium untill next summer, 2023.

After joining the Premier League side, the 33-year-old has already started full training and could be one of Bruno Lage's attacking options in the upcoming fixtures.

Therefore, speaking via Express and Star, the Portuguese manager claimed Costa could bring 'intensity' and 'personality' to the team's attack.

"What I want is to have quality players that do everything they can to help the team win the game," Lage said.

"With his personality, he is that kind of player. That's why he won what he won at Chelsea and what he won at Atletico Madrid

"It's so hard to be a player and a manager, sometimes I'm here and show a face that I'm not showing in training or at a game. We have time to relax.

"If you call Diego Costa here, in five minutes you'll be laughing because he has that personality.

"But for sure, if you play one-on-one against him he will break your leg if he needs to, to win the game. This is the kind of profile he has.

"He needs to be there because the Premier League is so hard to play in. Of course, breaking the leg is a joke, but what can we see in every game? Competition, duels, physical contact, intensity.

"It's emotional and when you go you need to go with that emotion and intensity to do everything to win the game. If you want to jump for the ball in the air, you can't think if something will happen, you have to jump for the duel.

"These are the kind of things he offers to the team."
