# Wolves: Fans react to transfer links with Newcastle’s Allan Saint-Maximin

**Loads of Wolves fans have been reacting to some transfer news, as [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8032949/Wolves-Newcastles-Allan-Saint-Maximin-brace-Adama-Traore-bidding-war.html) claim they have identified Newcastle United’s Allan Saint-Maximin as a potential replacement for Adama Traore.**

According to the report, the Molineux outfit are bracing themselves for a bidding war for Traore this summer. Indeed, the wing wizard has shot to stardom this campaign with [five goals and seven assists](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9), finally adding the end product to match his obvious talent with the ball and unstoppable athleticism. The Daily Mail claim both Real Madrid and Barcelona are eyeing the £70m-rated winger, leading the club to eye up replacements should they choose to cash in.

Of course, Saint-Maximin is of a similar mould to Traore, a young player with excellent quickness and flair but currently lacking the results in the final third. The 22 year-old averages [4.6 dribbles per game](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/135891/Show/Allan-Saint-Maximin) in the Premier League, not far behind [Traore’s 5.2](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/Show/Adama-Traor%C3%A9), but has only scored once. If Nuno Espirito Santo can work his magic on the Frenchman like he has done with Traore we could see a similar improvement however, and plenty of fans are saying the same thing – they’d rather not lose Traore, but Newcastle’s [£16.5m](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49211377) man wouldn’t be a bad successor…

> 100m for traore, and 30m for him, 70m profit for having a player with same abilities and nurturing potential. I’d prefer em both tho… Imagine the defences trying to cope 🤣🤣

> He looks very similar to how Traore looked at this point last season. Traore has come on in leaps and bounds over the last twelve months.
