# Tottenham: Daily Mail make Traore transfer claim

**The Daily Mail have now shared an interesting [Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) transfer update involving Wolverhampton Wanderers forward and current Barcelona loanee Adama Traore.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye January move…

The Spaniard was a serious [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) transfer target for Spurs in the winter window, as backed by reliable sources like [The Athletic,](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-considering-fresh-approach-for-adama-traore/8OHBdqVsYX1j/) who revealed that manager Antonio Conte was eyeing him as a makeshift right-wing-back option.

[GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1827241-spurs-transfer-news-agreement-reached-to-make-big-conte-target-spurs-4th-highest-earner) even shared news that a move was very close at one point with both the Lilywhites and Traore’s representatives shaking hands on personal terms and agreeing to make him the club’s fourth-highest earner.

However, when the Catalans swooped in late-on, Tottenham’s plans were scuppered and Conte was left without a new-and-improved wing-back signing.

### The Latest: Mail share interesting update…

[The Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-10860971/Tottenham-Antonio-Conte-wants-sign-Inters-Alessandro-Bastoni.html), sharing news after Conte held crunch transfer talks with sporting director Fabio Paratici in Italy on Friday, now say that Traore has re-emerged as a target for Spurs.

Indeed, according to reliable reporter Mokbel, writing for the outlet, Tottenham’s boss has seemingly set his sights on a former flame.

### The Verdict: Move on?

We believe, with some serious work, Traore could still be an asset for Conte as a makeshift attacking option on the right side of his defence – particularly considering he averaged a phenomenal 4.2 dribbles per 90 for Wolves before joining Barca ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/161/Show/England-Wolverhampton)).

It’s clear, when at his very best, the 26-year-old can be an extreme threat from out wide and members of the media seem to agree having watched him in England regularly.

Journalist[Pete O’Rourke,](https://www.msn.com/en-gb/sport/transfers/absolute-world-beater-journalist-lauds-thfc-target-nobody-can-stop-he-wants-conte-link-up/ar-AASD5hM?pfr=1) commenting on the links to Spurs in January, raved over the ‘absolute world-beater’ who ‘nobody can stop’ with his pace and power.

Depending on Wolves’ asking price, it could well be a move Conte should consider.
