# Exclusive: Stewart says Liverpool target Adama Traore could be “world-beater”

Liverpool have had phenomenal consistency in their attack over the last few years, with Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino leading the front line on a regular basis.

Last season, Salah’s fine form of [22 goals and five assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-salah/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/148455/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in the Premier League, saw him voted the [PFA Fans’ Player of the Year](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/first-team/436384-mohamed-salah-wins-pfa-fans-player-of-the-year-award#). Alongside this, Salah was also named in the [PFA Premier League Team of the Year](https://www.thepfa.com/news/2021/6/4/pfa-premier-league-team-of-the-year) and helped the Reds to a [third place](https://www.premierleague.com/tables?co=1&se=363&ha=-1) Premier League finish.

Liverpool were also helped out by Mane’s [16 goals and nine assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sadio-mane/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/200512/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in all competitions, as well as Firmino’s [nine goals and nine assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roberto-firmino/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/131789/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=).

With the attacking trio a consistent part of Jurgen Klopp’s starting XI when fit, it begs the question could anybody come into Liverpool and force one of their talented trio out the side.

According to [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-liverpool-tell-wolves-how-much-they-will-pay-for-traore/), the Merseyside outfit have told Wolves that they are willing to pay up to £25million for the player the west Midlands outfit value at £50m, but former Liverpool player Paul Stewart says Traore might not be the right fit for the club right now.

*“You look at the front three of Liverpool, they interchange, Salah comes in, Mane’s all over the place.*

*“I can’t see Traore being that because he’s a feet on the touchline type of man and then pace is his massive attribute.”\*

Traore has scored [10 goals and has got 18 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103/plus/0?saison=&verein=543&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in his time at Molineux, but Stewart wants to see the winger add to his end product, adding: *“When I first watched him, I thought with that pace if he could have an end product he could be a world beater, but I haven’t seen that end product yet”.*
