Palace join five clubs in Helder Costa chase

Helder Costa’s performances for Wolverhampton Wanderers this season have been nothing short of sensational, attracting interest from a host of Premier League clubs – including Crystal Palace, Everton and West Ham United.

The Eagles have declared their interest to Benfica in signing Costa on loan, but it is Everton and West Ham who lead the chase according to Portuguese outlet O Jogo.

Wolves have already begun identifying potential replacements for the 23-year-old, with Blackburn Rovers’ Ben Marshall topping their wish-list, as per HITC.

Contract rebel Marshall has told Blackburn he will not be signing a new contract, with his current deal set to expire in the summer. Rovers are reluctant to lose Marshall this window and now must make the decision on whether to cash in or not.

The winger joined the club as part of Benfica’s new partnership with the Championship outfit, with the aim of putting the winger in the shop window and it seems to have done just that. This season Costa has scored nine goals and has six assists to his name.

Premier League trio Hull City, Middlesbrough and Southampton also join the Eagles in the chase for Costa’s signature.
