As per reliable journalist Matt Law of The Telegraph, a transfer development has now come out of Tottenham Hotspur involving Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore.

The Lowdown: Spurs knocked back...

Sources indicate that this isn't the first time Spurs, chairman Daniel Levy and managing director Fabio Paratici have held an interest in Traore with a last minute summer attempt already reported.

According to another reliable journalist, David Ornstein of The Athletic, Paratici actually had a last gasp bid for the forward turned down during the last transfer window.

Despite the presence of ex-Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo at the time, Tottenham couldn't manage to pull off a last minute coup for the Portuguese who was later dismissed from the N17 helm.

Now, with the Antonio Conte era well underway, it appears a development has come to light as Spurs keep Traore very much in their sights.

The Latest: Spurs eyeing Traore move...

According to Law's sources, Tottenham are still eyeing the Spaniard for Conte ahead of January alongside well-known target Dusan Vlahovic.

It is believed that Conte is also 'set to talk' to Levy and Paratici about the January window 'in the coming days' as this report lifts the lid on a scheduled meeting with the Spurs chairman and chief transfer operator.

The Verdict: Golden opportunity?

As the Italian coach enters discussions with Levy and his national counterpart over a crucial next month ahead, we believe a swoop for Traore could fit the bill judging by his watered down price tag and non-stop praise.

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is a known admirer of the 25-year-old, calling him 'unplayable' back in 2020, while ex-Lilywhites gaffer Nuno lauded his former star more recently as 'special' and 'unique'.

Players have also been left in awe of Traore whenever they have had the misfortune of coming up against him at his best, with former Newcastle defender Jetro Willems calling him a 'beast'.

It is also believed that Wolves could now be willing to sell in January for around £30 million (90min), exactly half of his once reported £60 million valuation (The Sun).

As the Midlands outfit reportedly become more open to negotiating, this could be Tottenham's golden opportunity to finally get a deal done.
