Costa joined Leeds in a £15 million permanent switch from Wolverhampton Wanderers three summers ago but has spent the past two seasons on loan at Valencia and Al-Ittihad. He is expected to depart Elland Road for good before the end of the transfer window this month.
Sam Greenwood’s No. 42 shirt has been replaced by No. 19, worn by last season’s top scorer Rodrigo during two of his three seasons at the club.
Seventeen-year-old academy graduate Archie Gray has taken over released goalkeeper Joel Robles’ No. 22 shirt for the upcoming season, having previously been allocated No. 63.
