Traore’s time in Spain proved to be unimpressive, failing to score despite a promising first five appearances as he registered four assists ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103/plus/0?saison=2021&verein=131&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)), with manager Xavi having no interest in retaining his services on a permanent basis. The Spanish winger has been [linked](https://www.90min.com/posts/tottenham-remain-in-market-for-another-wing-back) with a move to Spurs this summer, and one journalist has suggested that it is a transfer which could still go through. ### The Latest: Spurs still keen on Traore Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88041752-tottenham-conte-has-unique-10m-star-on-his-list-at-hotspur-way), transfer expert Crook claimed that the north Londoners see Traore as a potential summer option to bring in. He stated: > “The other name that I’ve been told that is still on their list is Adama Traore, to add some right wing-back competition.” \[freshpress-quiz id=“398117″\] ### The Verdict: Better to sell this summer It became clear last season that Bruno Lage doesn’t consider Traore a key player, with [only 10](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/140088/History/Adama-Traor%C3%A9) [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) starts coming his way before his loan departure last season. For that reason, it makes complete sense for Wolves to sell him permanently this summer and receive a healthy fee for his services, spending the money on new signings instead. \[freshpress-poll id=“399044″\] Traore can still be very effective on his day – Andy Townsend has [described](https://www.molineux.news/news/andy-townsend-praises-wolves-and-singles-out-adama-traore/) him as ‘devastating’ in the past – but there is an inconsistency in his game which seemingly will never go away. An overall tally of [11 goals and 18 assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adama-traore/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/204103/verein/543) in 154 appearances simply isn’t good enough for such a [fast]() attacking player, and perhaps that is why Lage has not been sold on the 26-year-old up to now.
