Arsenal legend Ian Wright suggested on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday evening (7:46pm, November 12, 2018) that Wolverhampton Wanderers need to sign a striker in the January transfer window.

The former Arsenal striker also praised Wolves winger Adama Traore following his performance against the Gunners in the Premier League this past weekend.

Traore came on as a substitute in the 75th minute of the match at the Emirates Stadium in North London this past Sunday evening and had a great chance to score for Nuno’s side.

According to WhoScored, the 22-year-old former Aston Villa and Middlesbrough winger played one key pass, had a pass accuracy of 80%, took 13 touches, and made one tackle.

Wright said about Traore on The Monday Night Club show on BBC Radio 5 Live on Monday evening (7:46pm, November 12, 2018): “He is quick. He is amazing.”

The Arsenal legend added: “If they get a striker who can get a couple of those chances, they will cause a lot of problems.”

Need for a proven goalscorer

Wolves are doing well in the Premier League at the moment, but the Wanderers could do with a proven goalscorer in the January transfer window.

Nuno’s side have scored 12 goals in 12 league matches so far this season, and it is clear that the Wanderers’ main problem at the moment is scoring goals.
