Wolves: Adama Traore’s move to Tottenham edges closer
Adama Traore’s move from Wolves to Tottenham will be completed in the coming ‘hours and days’, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Lowdown: Traore exit looking certain
The Spaniard has been linked with an exit from Molineux numerous times in recent weeks, with a host of clubs thought to be keen on snapping him up.
Spurs have emerged as the clear front-runners, however, with Antonio Conte seeing Traore as someone who can add much-needed firepower to his squad.
The 25-year-old’s current Wolves deal expires in the summer of 2023 and there has been no sign of a new contract being agreed.
Who should Wolves sign?
Aaron Ramsey
Boubacar Kamara
Dani Vivian
Goncalo Guedes
The Latest: Romano provides update
Taking to Twitter on Saturday morning, Romano gave a key update on the situation, saying Wolves and Spurs are still working on a likely deal being completed:
“Adama Traore deal not done/fully agreed yet but Tottenham are confident to reach the agreement soon. Negotiations with Wolves will continue in the next hours and days. Personal terms already discussed with Adama. Spurs are on it.“
The Verdict: Matter of time
Traore’s exit from Wolves now feels inevitable, bringing to an end an up-and-down spell at the club, in which he has too often blown hot and cold.
While the wide man’s effort levels, blistering speed and immense power cannot be questioned, his end product has left a lot to be desired. A tally of just 11 goals and 18 assists in 153 appearances is not good enough for such an attack-minded player.
Should Wolves receive around £20million for Traore, it will be a shrewd piece of business, allowing them to sign someone more tailor-made to excel under Bruno Lage.
