Newcastle United are said to be keeping tabs on Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore.
According to a report in the Daily Mail, Newcastle United are interested in signing Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore – and he could be the perfect wildcard addition for Rafael Benitez’s side.
Traore may be a very raw prospect, but he was rated as the best dribbler in Europe in a study conducted by the Football Observatory last season.
Traore was a constant threat for Middlesbrough, although his end product often let him down.
The former Barcelona man only contributed one assist in 32 appearances for Boro last term, and failed to score at all.
However, as a gamble, Traore could be perfect for Newcastle.
If the Magpies are able to harness Traore’s obvious potential, then he does have all the qualities required to be a major threat.
And although there is no guarantees that Traore will be a success at St. James’ Park, Newcastle could be rewarded massively by showing some faith in the 21-year-old attacker.
