Taking to Twitter, Sportitalia TV reporter Rudy Galetti has shared his own update on Tottenham Hotspur's bid to sign Adama Traore as manager Antonio Conte also requests another signing.

The Lowdown: Spurs in Traore talks...

Over these last two weeks, the Lilywhites and transfer chief Fabio Paratici have been in negotiations with Wolves over the transfer of the Spain winger and even attempted a loan deal at one stage (Matt Law).

They have also had an opening bid of £15m rejected by the Molineux club, but there are strong rumours that an agreement for Traore is edging nearer and nearer.

Reliable reporter Fabrizio Romano claimed that Spurs are 'increasingly confident' of signing the 25-year-old, with a fresh bid being prepared after Friday talks (The Guardian).

Meanwhile, coming out with his own promising claim, football.london correspondent Alasdair Gold has said there is a feeling within both clubs that an agreement can be reached before deadline day.

In yet another update, Italian reporter Galetti has shared information from his own sources on social media.

The Latest: Conte 'requests' another signing...

According to the journalist on Twitter, Traore is indeed 'close to Tottenham' as super agent Jorge Mendes attempts to wrap up a deal 'in the next hours'.

Amid this development, Galetti believes that Conte has also 'requested' another signing in the form of a midfielder before January 31.

The journalist tweeted: "Adama Traore is close to Tottenham for about £20m. Jorge Mendes is trying to close the deal in the next hours. Conte has requested also a midfielder: hot days in London."

The Verdict: Exciting times...

As the winter window cut-off looms in just over a week's time, Tottenham fans can be encouraged by this update alongside a plethora of other reliable reports.

It appears that Traore's arrival at N17 is looking like a strong possibility, and Conte's refusal to give up comes as another bit of good news.

In terms of the midfielder that he and Paratici could target, they remain heavily linked with a move for AC Milan star Franck Kessie, and it isn't beyond the realms of possibility that Spurs may go for him after wrapping up a deal for Traore.

The Ivory Coast international's San Siro contract expires at the end of the season, putting pressure on the Rossoneri to sell for a cut-price fee this month or risk losing him for nothing later in 2022.

This could play right into Tottenham's hands, so Paratici could be set for a busy end to the month.
