  • Diego Costa, a self-confessed bully, has admitted that the presence of dangerous animals during his unveiling as a Wolves player scared him
  • Costa was snapped up by Bruno Lage's side on a free transfer to address their problems in front of goal
  • He was unveiled in a video that had him walking with a pack of wolves chained to his hand in a chilling scene

Rather uncharacteristically, Diego Costa has come out to admit that he was 'scared to death' while shooting his announcement video with his new club, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Costa made a comeback to the Premier League after he sealed a move to Wolves on a free transfer. The former Chelsea striker has been a free agent since terminating his contract with Brazilian aide Athletico Mineiro.

He was brought in as a stop-gap replacement to Sasa Kalajdzic, who suffered a cruciate ligament injury on his debut.

Costa's unveiling video by the Molineux-based club is one of the most creative pieces seen in recent times. The Spanish striker was seen holding a pack of Wolves using a chain.

The video sent out the desired effect, but as Goal reports, Costa admits that he was scared for his life.

I was scared to death. Holding that chain, I kept thinking, ‘What if this wolf thinks about jumping on top of me?’ Because the lady training them kept calling them and asking them to move around a little and the wolves didn’t do anything. And I thought, ‘If they’re not doing anything with the trainer if they come...when they came and smelled my foot, I knew I was done.

Luckily, there was no major incident during the shoot.

Costa could make his debut this weekend when they face the champions Manchester City before he makes his return to Stamford Bridge a week later.

Diego Costa once admitted to bullying N'Golo Kante

Sports Brief has previously reported that Diego Costa had revealed that he liked to taunt N’Golo Kante during his playing days at Chelsea. Costa played with the humble midfielder for one-and-a-half seasons.

Kante has cut a figure of himself over the years as a humble human despite the enormous amount of success he has recorded.

Costa, meanwhile, is the complete opposite of the diminutive Frenchman. The Brazilian-born Spanish attacker is a very abrasive and loud character on and off the pitch.
