da bet7： According to Express & Star, Leeds are wanting to take Wolves man Helder Costa on loan ahead of the new Championship season.
What’s the word?
Wolves aren’t particularly full of depth, using just 21 players in the Premier League last term. One of which was Helder Costa who struggled somewhat in terms of his performance.
As a result, Nuno Santo may be willing to sanction a loan deal for the forward. Back in May, The Mirror claimed that the 25-year-old would be made surplus to requirements.
However, he could now be heading out on loan, rather than making a permanent switch elsewhere.
Express & Star have reported that Leeds want to take the Portuguese on a temporary deal as they prepare for another promotion charge next term.
Turnaround on the cards?
Costa is a fine Championship player, having notched double figures in terms of goal contributions in each of his two campaigns in the second tier.
In 2016/17 he found the back of the net ten times whilst laying on eight goals for his teammates. The following season was followed up by five strikes and a further six assists.
However, he’s found life in the Premier League tough. After starting matches on a regular basis until the end of November, he was then forced out of the team by a resurgent Diogo Jota, something that coincided with Nuno switching his formation to a 3-5-2.
Since then Costa has been a neglected figure, starting in just two league fixtures.
Having scored just once all season a loan spell could be exactly what he needs to rediscover his confidence and stage a turnaround.
Costa was once one of the leading lights in the Wolves team and as he approaches the prime years of his career, it’s vitally important he’s playing regularly.

On his day, the winger is an extremely canny operator, capable of providing a threat against most backlines. He’s found that difficult with limited game time, though.
As a result, a potential loan move to Leeds could be best for all parties. Costa’s contract doesn’t expire until 2021 so there’s still plenty of time for him to make it at Wolves.
