# Leeds: Whites make contact over Adama Traore move

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have been in contact with the representatives of Adama Traore, who is also wanted by Everton, ahead of a possible summer move.**

### The Lowdown: Traore at Barcelona

Traore, described as [‘undefendable’](https://metro.co.uk/2021/03/16/liverpool-news-jurgen-klopp-labels-adama-traore-undefendable-despite-woeful-stats-14250956/) by Jurgen Klopp, joined Barcelona on a season-long loan last summer from Wolves.

The 26-year-old has made just [15](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdaten/spieler/204103) appearances for the Catalan giants however, failing to score and registering [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdaten/spieler/204103) assists.

Barcelona have an option to make a move permanent at the end of the season, but Wolves [expect](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/adama-traore-transfer-latest-wolves-barcelona-move-whites-double-deal-raphinha) him to return to the Midlands this summer.

### The Latest: Leeds contact

[TEAMtalk](https://www.teamtalk.com/leeds-united/adama-traore-transfer-latest-wolves-barcelona-move-whites-double-deal-raphinha) shared a story regarding Traore on Thursday, claiming Leeds are chasing the Spaniard’s signature.

The winger has a long-standing interest from Elland Road chiefs, who have already made contact with Traore’s representatives.

Everton are also [keen](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-door-opens-for-everton-to-sign-adama-traore-after-major-development/) on the Wolves man, so this update may come as a blow to Leeds’ relegation rivals.

### The Verdict: Avoid?

You’d expect that Leeds will need to remain a Premier League side over the coming weeks to have any chance of signing Traore this summer, but it looks as if Victor Orta is looking to put a deal in place regardless.

However, Traore hasn’t exactly hasn’t had the best of seasons in Spain, continuing to struggle in front of goal, so a summer swoop could be another big gamble.

Traore has lacked end product throughout his career, scoring just [20 senior club goals in 256 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/204103). Therefore, if Jesse Marsch guides the Whites to safety, they could be better off looking at a more prolific wide man, especially with Raphinha looking likely to join Barcelona.
