Wolves winger Adama Traore isn't good enough to be a successful signing for Liverpool in January, according to former England international Danny Mills.

The Lowdown: Traore linked with exit

Bruno Lage's side lost 1-0 at home to the Reds on Sunday, with Divock Origi's stoppage-time winner breaking Wanderers' hearts.

Traore played most of the game and was a menace to Liverpool's defence, having recently been linked with a move to Anfield in January.

It has been claimed that the Spaniard could be available for as little as £18m, slashing his asking price by £32m from an initial £50m, with Jurgen Klopp potentially seeing him as a good squad option.

The Latest: Mills unsure over move

Despite this, someone who doesn't think a move would be good for Liverpool is Mills, who told Football Insider that Traore simply doesn't deliver consistently enough:

"Can he be unlocked? It’s going to be difficult.

"He had one great season where he’s been off the charts. We know he’s got incredible pace and for a little while, he had a bit of an end product. Then that dissipated and he had a couple of very average seasons for Wolves.

"Can Klopp get anything better out of him? I’m not sure.

"Also you’re bringing him into the first-team squad, so who do you leave out? Who do you drop? That’s the problem Liverpool would have. You wouldn’t drop any of their attacking players for him."

The Verdict: Squad player at best

For all Traore's incredible speed and strength - Klopp himself has hailed the 25-year-old as 'undefendable' in the past - his lack of end product backs up Mills' claim.

The winger is still searching for his first goal or assist in the Premier League this season, despite starting nine and featuring in 14 of Wolves' 15 matches.

It could be argued that Klopp could nurture him and make him a greater force, but at 25, he has had enough time to mature as a player and show he can add more substance to his game.

Wolves are possibly better off without Traore in their starting lineup, too, using him as an impact substitute and using Francisco Trincao and Hwang Hee-chan as wide men, with the former a younger option and the latter delivering four league goals this season.
