The 33-year-old returns to the country where he won two league titles with Chelsea as he looks to continue adding to his legacy in the English top flight.
Costa's return almost did not happen due to his initial work permit application being rejected, but after Wolves appealed the UK government's decision, it was overturned.
As soon as the request was accepted, the forward was given the green light to fly to England for medical tests – all of which have now been completed, with the striker having signed a one-year deal with Bruno Lage's team.
