Wolves are lodging an appeal after Diego Costa suffered a work permit rejection.

The free agent is yet to arrive in England, but he has convinced management to offer him a one-year contract.

Diego Costa is wanted by Wolves after Sasa Kalajdzic suffered a knee injury on debut last weekend.

The Athletic's David Ornstein reports: "Wolves move for Diego Costa in balance after work permit application rejected.

"33yo did not get enough points & Wolves are appealing decision. Striker scheduled to arrive late tonight to undergo medical tomorrow - appeal happening in unison."
