# Leeds: Beren Cross makes Adama Traore admission

**[Leeds Live reporter Beren Cross](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-lewis-bate-davis-21110948) recently answered a question regarding links to Wolves winger Adama Traore.**

### The Lowdown: Traore links

The Whites were first [linked](https://www.90min.com/posts/leeds-united-interested-wolves-winger-adama-traore) with Traore back in December 2020 ahead of the January window. As we know, Leeds [didn’t](https://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1524&teamTabs=transfers) add to their ranks during the winter window, finishing [9th](https://www.premierleague.com/tables?co=1&se=363&ha=-1) in their first season back in the top flight.

Traore has been linked with a move to Elland Road again in recent days, with [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/leeds-transfer-news-wolves-interest-adama-traore) suggesting Leeds were considering launching a bid.

The 25-year-old still has [two years](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/profil/spieler/204103) remaining on his Wolves deal, and it doesn’t seem as if the pacey winger will be moving to Yorkshire anytime soon.

### The Latest: Cross answers question

Reliable reporter [Cross](https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-lewis-bate-davis-21110948) ran a Q&A piece on Thursday morning and was asked about the club’s centre-midfield targets, as well as Noa Lang and Traore.

Cross believes ‘Traore doesn’t seem to fit the current bill’ – an interesting eight-word admission going off latest [reports of interest](https://www.90min.com/posts/leeds-transfer-news-wolves-interest-adama-traore).

### The Verdict: Leeds to play the waiting game…

Leeds’ final signing last summer was Raphinha on deadline day in a deal worth [£17m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54415316) after they found out Rennes were willing to sell [late on](https://theathletic.co.uk/2704060/2021/07/15/leeds-united-transfers-evolution-not-revolution-as-hunt-for-a-centre-midfielder-and-casillas-replacement-increases/).

Phil Hay [reported](https://theathletic.co.uk/2704060/2021/07/15/leeds-united-transfers-evolution-not-revolution-as-hunt-for-a-centre-midfielder-and-casillas-replacement-increases/) last week that a wide man addition this summer could come at the end of the window again, so it seems as if fans will have to be patient once again.

A move for Raphinha has proven a brilliant piece of business, and hopefully, Leeds will make a similar move this summer, but Cross feels that won’t be Traore.
