# Tottenham Hotspur: Pete O’Rourke makes Adama Traore transfer claim

**Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1815133-tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-tipped-to-land-25m-star-with-undeniable-pace-and-power), reporter Pete O’Rourke has made a promising Tottenham Hotspur transfer claim involving Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore.**

### The Lowdown: Spurs eye move…

Links to the Spain international have accelerated in recent days as multiple reliable outlets claimed that Tottenham are seriously in the hunt for his signature this month.

Indeed, [Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/12511122/adama-traore-tottenham-showing-strong-interest-in-wolves-forward) backed that the Lilywhites are eyeing a January move alongside [The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-considering-fresh-approach-for-adama-traore/8OHBdqVsYX1j/), [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2022/01/07/daniel-levy-flies-bahamas-talks-spurs-owner-joe-lewis-possible/) and [The Times](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/antonio-conte-keen-on-20m-adama-traore-to-solve-his-wing-back-problem-lw6qp0sbc), who all claimed that Spurs are actively pursuing Traore.

Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is believed to be mapping out a special role for the Wolves winger as he aims to transform him into a [makeshift right wing-back](https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/antonio-conte-keen-on-20m-adama-traore-to-solve-his-wing-back-problem-lw6qp0sbc) to solve the problem position, akin to how he utilised Victor Moses at Chelsea ([The Athletic](https://theathletic.com/news/tottenham-considering-fresh-approach-for-adama-traore/8OHBdqVsYX1j/)).

Sharing what he knows on the situation, O’Rourke has now made a promising claim regarding this hot transfer rumour.

### The Latest: O’Rourke says Spurs can meet valuation…

In an interview with [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/1815133-tottenham-transfer-news-spurs-tipped-to-land-25m-star-with-undeniable-pace-and-power), the journalist stated that Spurs could ‘come with an offer’ which meets Wolves’ asking price.

He explained: “Spurs could come in with an offer that meets their valuation. There’s a real possibility this deal could happen.”

### The Verdict: Priority signing?

It is believed that Conte and transfer chief Fabio Paratici are eyeing four ‘priority’ additions in a new striker, a left-footed central defender, a central midfielder and a right wing-back ([Alasdair Gold](https://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/transfer-news/four-transfers-antonio-conte-believes-22673935)).

For the latter position, we believe Tottenham could be chasing a tremendous candidate for the role in Traore, going by his impressive statistics. According to [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9), the Wolves beast has completed 4.5 dribbles per 90 on average this Premier League campaign – more than [any Spurs player in that time.](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/30/Show/England-Tottenham)

This highlights his strong threat going forward, with Molineux legend Steve Bull also calling the 25-year-old a ‘world-beater’ in an interview with [Football FanCast.](https://www.footballfancast.com/wolves-news/exclusive-bull-labels-adama-traore-a-wrold-beater-e40)

For a rumoured [£22m](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-set-for-22m-adama-traore-bid-as-wolves-sanction-exit), he could be a golden first signing of the Conte era.
