The wolves ordered to sign Diego Costa
Darren Bent has advised the Wolves to address their forward shortage by bringing Diego Costa to Molineux.
The former Villa Bent striker, who now works as an expert, believes the 32-year-old would benefit several of the Premier League’s big clubs following his departure from Atlético de Madrid.
The former Chelsea star made just three appearances, all as a substitute, since mid-October and Atlético confirmed a split earlier this week.
“The forward asked a few days ago to leave the club for personal reasons and on Tuesday he signed the termination of his contract,” said a statement from the club.

That means he’s free to sign for anyone, and Bent, aware of Raúl Jiménez’s injury and the lack of options up front for Nuno Espirito Santo, tipped him for a move.
“Any of the top six should go for him, especially now that his contract is broken, so you don’t have to pay any money for him,” Bent said. talkSPORT.
“To have it, someone like that with Premier League experience in the building, still in good shape, can score goals. I’d bring it up in a heartbeat.
“The Spurs would take it, the Wolves, even someone like Everton on the off chance that something happens to Calvert-Lewin. He still has something.
“You look at the Spurs with Bale, he hasn’t played for 18 months, almost two years, so it’s the same: they are paying a lot more money for him than you would have to pay for Diego Costa.”
Liverpool fans fear Hoever is wrong
Ki-Jana Hoever enjoyed a magnificent Premier League debut in Wolverhampton Wanderers’ agonizing loss to Manchester United on Tuesday.
The 18-year-old replaced Nelson Semedo at right-back in one of four changes Nuno Espirito Santo made to the Wolves’ starting eleven in a 1-1 draw with Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
Hoever was tasked with the difficult task of tagging United dangerman Marcus Rashford and managed to contain the England international. It was only when Rashford approached the opposite flank that he was able to find the decisive goal for United, through a cruel deflection by Romain Saiss.
Hoever wrote on Twitter on Wednesday: “I am proud to have made my first Premier League start with Wolves. We gave it our all.”

Dutch star Hoever joined Wolves from Liverpool in September for a starting value of £ 9 million. Jurgen Klopp rated Hoever highly, but planned to use him as a central defender this season rather than his preferred right-back position.
He joined Wolves knowing that Semedo would be hired to play ahead of him, but Hoever has now proven to be a useful option for Nuno.
And Liverpool fans watching Wolves’ narrow defeat to Manchester United fear Klopp sold Hoever too soon.
Liverpool fans reaction
@lfc_mxcky: “He said the whole time that we should have kept Hoever and sold Neco (Williams).”
@thankskloppo: “Hoever could be one that got away. Excellent tonight.”
@lfcleno: “It hurts me a lot to see Ki-Jana Hoever as a wolf.”
@ lfcjulian01: “By the way, Ki-Jana Hoever was the man of the match today.”
@ynwawhitey: “I don’t know about everyone else, but I gave Ki-Jana Hoever a huge rating. I showed his quality again last night. I was sad to see him leave.”
@ wxseem7: “We should have stayed with Ki-Jana Hoever.”

The show must go on
That’s the message from the Premier League after they ignored calls to a circuit breaker.
The vast majority of the UK was plunged into Level Four restrictions by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Wednesday following a spike in COVID-19 cases.
Manchester City’s game with Everton on Monday was postponed due to an outbreak within their camp, although they have since resumed training and are ready to face Chelsea on Sunday. Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham was also canceled due to a series of positive cases at the visitors’ training ground.
But football, at least at the highest level, will continue for the time being.
The statement read: “The Premier League has not discussed pausing the season and has no plans to do so.
“The League continues to rely on its COVID-19 protocols to allow games to be played as scheduled, and these protocols continue to have the full backing of the Government.
“With the health of the players and staff as a priority, the League also fully supports the way the clubs are implementing the protocols and rules.”
