Wolves have been linked to Adama Traore.
Wolves are reported to be weighing up a move for Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore.
The former Barcelona trainee has a £18 million release clause, the Sun report.
Traore is an exciting talent, but Wolves could make a far more prudent move by re-signing Bakary Sako on a free transfer.
Sako is available after his contract at Crystal Palace ran down and he rejected a new deal.
The Malian winger quit Wolves in 2015 where he was a fan favourite to pursue a shot at the Premier League.
Last season Sako was enjoying his best season with the Eagles to date before his run was cut short due to injury.
At 30-years-old Sako would only be a short term fix for Wolves, but right now he is a safer bet for Nuno Santo as he looks to fill out his squad.
Sako has more Premier League experience than Traore and also knows Wolves so he should have little trouble settling at a club where he scored 38 goals in three seasons.
Traore is the ‘shoot for the moon’, high potential option of the two, but the price is so dramatically different that Wolves do not need to take the chance, when Sako is available on a free transfer.
