Tottenham Hotspur have signed one winger this summer in Bryan Gil, but could also make a move for Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore.

Gil has joined from Sevilla in a part-exchange deal involving Erik Lamela, and should give Nuno a very creative and silky option on either flank.

To go with Gil’s guile, Nuno may fancy adding real speed – and Traore is now believed to be on the Tottenham manager’s wish list.

The Daily Mail report that Nuno wants a reunion with Traore, and Wolves are willing to let him leave for around £45million.

Traore, 25, is hard for any defender to handle. He has blazing speed, he’s an outstanding dribbler and one of the strongest wingers around.

Adding Traore would give Tottenham a new dimension, and Nuno would surely love to have the Spaniard again.

With 10 goals and 18 assists under Nuno at Wolves, Traore was always a threat at Molineux, and drew huge praise from Nuno – words that may suggest a reunion would appeal to Nuno.

Nuno told The Express and Star in March of this year that Traore is ‘special and unique’, believing that he was capable of ‘special’ moments.

Nuno even praised Traore’s character, claiming he is a ‘very nice human being’ as well as a wrecking ball in the final third.

Traore has always been quick, strong and skilful, but his end product improved under Nuno too, and seeing them join forces again at Tottenham could be a very exciting proposition.
