Supporters of Wolverhampton Wanderers have been gushing over Leeds United’s Helder Costa after the club posted old goal footage to their Twitter account.
On Wednesday, the Old Gold shared the footage of a 3-1 victory over Fulham from three years ago (per Wolves), which had supporters gushing over their former Portuguese winger.

No, not good enough

The 26-year-old winger departed Molineux last summer for Leeds, initially on a loan which will become permanent in the upcoming summer for £15 million (per The Mirror).
During his time with the Old Gold, Costa featured in 109 appearances, during which he bagged a decent return of 19 goals and 19 assists (per Transfermarkt), leaving fans missing their former man.
Costa so good here!

What do we think?
As can be judged from the responses of Wolves supporters, it is clear to see that they still hold their former man in high regard, with some even stating that they miss him.
However, with Costa having been only the 13th-best performer for the Elland Road club so far this season with a 6.67/10 average rating in the Championship (per WhoScored), it seems he may no longer be the required level of player for Wolves.
