LEEDS are eyeing a loan deal for Wolves winger Helder Costa.

Marcelo Bielsa is willing to take the Portuguese winger, 25, next season to be part of his Championship promotion bid.

Costa made a healthy 30 appearances last season at Molineux but only made nine Premier League starts under Nuno Espirito Santo.

Bielsa could offer regular starts at Elland Road and a chance to establish himself in his plans should they reach the top-flight.

Costa has spent three seasons at Wolves including an initial loan spell and Espirito Santo will weigh up whether he can afford to let him go for the season.

Wolves have been linked with a number of expensive deals as they prepare for a run in the Europa League.

Among them are Liverpool's teenage wide-man Rafa Camacho, whose arrival could allow Costa to move on.

Porto forward Moussa Marega is another reported target, at £30million, with Chelsea rivalling the Black Country side for him and Valencia's Mouctar Diakhaby.

Exactly how far Leeds can push in the transfer market appears to depend on the Qatari Royal family's takeover of the club.

The Paris Saint-Germain owners are said to be "very keen" on the Yorkshire side, wanting to finalise a deal that will reportedly "happen soon".

One man's future who is sealed is Marcelo Bielsa, the coach agreeing to stay for the coming season and said to desire former Real Madrid prodigy Jese Rodriguez for a switch.
