Former Chelsea striker Diego Costa has completed his return to the Premier League, joining Wolves on a free transfer until the end of the season.
Since leaving Brazilian club Atletico Mineiro in January, the 33-year-old has been without a club.
Costa had his medical last week as a replacement for new signing Sasa Kalajdzic, who suffered a cruciate injury on his debut.
“It [my signing] wasn’t in the best terms possible on accounts of a player’s injury,” Costa said.
The former Spain international added: “I can only wish him nothing but the best for him.
“But when he [manager, Bruno Lage] told me about returning to the Premier League since this a championship I have related to quite a bit, always liked it and followed.
“No matter how much I enjoyed playing in Madrid, I felt discouraged, but this motivated me. It lit that fire within me.”
Costa, who is approaching 500 career appearances, won the Premier League twice with Chelsea and several trophies in two spells with Atletico Madrid.
Last week, he had a trial with Wolves to assess his fitness and suitability.
Wolves are currently 14th in the Premier League table, having won just one of their six games this season.
“Diego will bring something unique to our dressing room and on the pitch,” said Wolves chairman Jeff Shi.
