Tottenham Hotspur head coach Nuno has praised Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore, as quoted in Football.London.

Nuno has said that Wolves star Traore is unique, and has admitted that he was very hard to stop today.

The former Aston Villa winger started for the Wanderers in the Premier League game against Tottenham today.

Spurs won the game 1-0, but Nuno has admitted that Traore and the rest of the Wolves team gave his side a lot of problems.

Nuno told Football.London about Traore: “I think Wolves have a very good team and created us enormous problems, big big problems. One of those was Adama. Everyone knows Adama is unique and he’s very hard to stop.”

How did Adama Traore play?

Spurs head coach Nuno worked with Traore at Wolves, and the Portuguese knows how good the Spain international is.

There is no surprise that Spurs are reportedly interested in the winger.

Eurosport reported this week that Wolves are willing to sell the winger and want £40 million for him.

The report added that Spurs are among the clubs keen on signing the winger.

Traore should have finished off the chances he had against Spurs, but he was a problem for the North London club’s defenders with his pace, direct running, and dribbling.

The winger took four shots and one was on target, played four key passes, had a pass accuracy of 76.5%, won three headers, took 66 touches, attempted nine dribbles, made one tackle, and put in five crosses.
