Tottenham Hotspur have been urged to make a move for Nuno Espirito Santo’s former player – Adama Traore at Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Traore impressed against Spurs this past weekend as Nuno secured a 1-0 win away to his old club.
According to AS in Spain earlier this month, the Portuguese is keen on re-signing the 25-year-old and a £34 million move is being prepared.
We’re in the final week of the transfer window and 20-year-old Bryan Gil is the only attacking player who the Lilywhites have signed.
And after seeing his powerful display against Tottenham on Sunday, Graham Roberts, a club legend, has encouraged his old side to strike.
Good move?
In a word, no.
Yes, Adama has a hell of a lot of pace and power, but end product is absolutely vital for an attacking player.
And as he showed at Molineux against Spurs, the Spain international is still lacking in this department.
Three goals in 41 games across all competitions last season indicates that the Wolves powerhouse needs to sharpen his tools in that respect.
For what he would cost – around £34 million – the North Londoners could find a weaker player, with less speed, but a better all-rounder than the former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough starlet.
As mentioned, Adama is 25 and fans of English football are still talking about what a player he could become – and that right there is the main problem.
The truth is that he has done nothing in the Premier League to deserve a big move like this for now.
