# Exclusive: Pundit eager to see Bruno Lage use Adama Traore up front at Wolves

**Former Premier League striker Dean Windass has told [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/) in an exclusive interview that he would like to see Bruno Lage try Adama Traore up front for Wolves.**

Before his horrific head injury, Raul Jimenez had been leading the line for Wolves. Meanwhile, Traore has mainly been used down the right-hand side.

However, as per [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9), the 25-year-old did at times play down the middle during the 2020/21 season, and it is something Windass is hoping to see more of in the forthcoming campaign.

The ex-Hull City forward told **TT**:

*“He played sort of right wing-back with Nuno. Stick him down the middle, stick him down the middle as a No.9.*

*“He’ll be a massive player for Wolves next year. They’ll need him, they’ll need his pace.”*

The Midlands club could face a fight to keep hold of him, though. European champions Chelsea and Thomas Tuchel are said to be [interested in bringing Traore to Stamford Bridge](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/05/30/chelsea-transfer-targets-revealed-thomas-tuchel-tells-roman/) this summer.

When it comes to the right flank, however, Inter Milan’s Achraf Hakimi seems to be their primary target, with [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/achraf-hakimi-transfer-chelsea-psg-inter-milan/LSOjqYdMRyyp) reporting that a bid has already been submitted, so there is no reason for Wolves to hit the panic button yet.
