Tottenham Hotspur wants to strengthen their squad this January transfer window, and one name that’s linked to the north London club is Wolverhampton Wanderers forward Adama Traore.
According to ESPN, Spurs are in talks with Wolves to sign winger Traore in a deal that could be worth around £20-million. The report states that the 25-year-old is keen on a move to Tottenham.
Furthermore, manager Antonio Conte wants the Spain international to improve his squad as they prepare to fight for a top-four spot for the remainder of the season.
Traore has 18 months left on his contract, so Wolves are ready to cash in on a player who sees his future elsewhere, considering that they’ll get less in the summer since he’ll have one year left on his deal.
FC Barcelona is another club interested in the Wolves player. Still, ESPN does add that Spurs are optimistic over their prospects of signing Traore, who Conte views as a prominent wing-back option in his preferred 3-4-3 system.
