# Tottenham: Lilywhites still keen on Adama Traore

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) are still interested in signing Wolves winger Adama Traore, according to reputable journalist Ryan Taylor.**

### The lowdown: Long-standing admirers

Spurs were [heavily linked](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11661/12524552/adama-traore-tottenham-hotspur-closing-in-on-signing-wolverhampton-wanderers-winger#:~:text=Tottenham%20Hotspur%20are%20closing%20in,value%20Traore%20at%20%C2%A325m.) with a move for Traore during the January transfer window but were unable to prise the Spanish speedster away to north London.

Instead, the 26-year-old Spain international headed back to Barcelona – where he [came through the La Masia ranks](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/transfers/spieler/204103) as a youngster – for a short-term loan spell.

Now, having returned to Wolves and upon entering the final 12 months of a deal in the Midlands, Spurs could well be set to rekindle their interest in Traore…

### The latest: ‘100% a target as well’

Speaking to [Give Me Sport](https://www.givemesport.com/88052016-tottenham-15m-star-is-100-a-target-at-hotspur-way), Taylor – a journalist for the [Daily Express](https://twitter.com/RyanTaylorSport?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor)– claimed that Tottenham are still keen on signing the [eight-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/nationalmannschaft/spieler/204103/verein_id/3375) ace.

He said: “Adama Traore is 100% a target as well. And the fact he’s out of contract next summer means he could be available for literally, we’re talking £10 million, £15 million.”

### The verdict: Make it happen

Dubbed a [‘freak of nature’](https://twitter.com/ParkTheBus_tka/status/1210677213198200832) by football journalist Tolga Akdeniz and a ‘[game changer](https://www.footballinsider247.com/traore-has-caught-contes-eye-at-tottenham-as-new-price-tag-revealed-pundit/)‘ by pundit Noel Whelan, despite often [struggling](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59632176) to covert frightening attributes into impactful performances, Traore certainly possesses everything required to be a major asset to Antonio Conte’s squad.

Already linked with potential wide options such as [Hakim Ziyech](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-transfer-rumours/spurs-news-chelsea-conte-paratici-ziyech-move-thfc/) and [Ruslan Malinovskyi](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/tottenham-ruslan-malinovskyi-bryan-gil-transfer-gossip-news-updates/), it seems almost certain that Spurs will add another attacking option to the N17 ranks before the September 1 deadline.

[Capable](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103) of operating on either wing, centrally and as a wing-back – a position of use in Conte’s favoured [3-5-2 formation](https://cultofcalcio.com/why-antonio-conte-3-5-2-was-no-surprise-yet-serie-a-teams-were-powerless-to-it/) – last season, the flying forward [scored just once and provided four assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) in 40 appearances across all competitions in Spain and England.

Despite that misfiring form, at the mooted low asking price, singing Traore – who shares similar stylistic traits to the likes of Jadon Sancho and Allan Saint-Maximin([FBref](https://fbref.com/en/players/9a28eba4/Adama-Traore)) – would be a no-brainer for Fabio Paratici and co.
