# Leeds: Whites still ‘interested’ in Adama Traore

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have once again been name-checked with an interest in Wolves forward Adama Traore according to journalist [Graeme Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1531951650306461698).**

### The Lowdown: Barcelona loan

Traore, hailed as ‘[unplayable](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/traore-is-unplayable-liverpool-boss-klopp-in-awe-of-wolves/iz6zae61ycre1ctv51lm2dhhw)’ by Jurgen Klopp, headed out on loan to Barcelona during the January window after scoring just [once in 23](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103) Wolves appearances in the first half of the season.

However, the 26-year-old continued to struggle despite a change of scenery, failing to score in [17](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103) games at the Nou Camp.

As a result, the Spanish giants won’t be exercising their option to make a move [permanent](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-leeds-newcastle-remain-interested-in-adama-traore) but it looks as if a move to Elland Road could be on the cards.

### The Latest: Bailey’s claim

[Bailey](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1531951650306461698) took to Twitter on Wednesday morning to provide an update on Traore. The journalist shared a link to a story for [90min](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-leeds-newcastle-remain-interested-in-adama-traore), saying that Leeds, Newcastle and Tottenham all remain ‘[interested](https://twitter.com/GraemeBailey/status/1531951650306461698)’ in the right-winger’s services.

It is thought that Wolves are focusing on parting ways with Traore ‘for good’, with Victor Orta and Co already making contact over a potential transfer, while Newcastle have also enquired.

### The Verdict: Unlikely?

This isn’t the first time Leeds have been linked with a move for Traore and may not be the last, with rumours dating back to [2020](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-transfer-rumours/leeds-united-club-interested-in-adama-traore/) during the club’s first season back in the Premier League.

Traore has scored just [26 senior goals in over 300 games](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103), not exactly an eye-catching return. Leeds are already [well-stocked](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/leeds-united/kader/verein/399) when it comes to wide options with Raphinha still a Whites player.

Jesse Marsch has also shown signs of looking to implement a narrower formation by signing attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson, so a move for Traore could be unlikely.
