Helder Costa’s impressive form for Wolves this season has not gone unnoticed as Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in the winger.
The Benfica winger joined the Championship club on loan for the season back in the summer in a deal which contained an option to make the transfer permanent for a hefty €15m fee.
With nine goals and six assists in 28 appearances across all competitions for Wolves so far this season, it’s fair to say Costa has been one of the leading players in the Championship throughout the current campaign.
O Jogo are now reporting that Wolves plan on taking up their option to sign Costa permanently in a €15m deal this month and that Benfica president Luís Filipe Vieira is travelling to London today to finalise the permanent transfer to Wolves.
This does not mean that Palace are out of the running to sign Costa, however. The report goes on to state that Wolves plan on cashing in on the winger before the January window closes by selling him for a profit.
Crystal Palace are one of six Premier League clubs linked with a move to sign Costa once his permanent transfer to Wolves is finalised, but they face competition from Crystal Palace, Southampton, Everton, Middlesbrough and Hull for his services.
