Tottenham Hotspur Managing Director of Football, Fabio Paratici, is a huge fan of Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore, according to The Express journalist Ryan Taylor.

The well-known and well-respected journalist has told GiveMeSport that Paratici wanted to sign Traore when he was at Juventus.

Taylor has added that Tottenham Hotspur head coach Antonio Conte wanted to bring the 26-year-old Spain international winger to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in January 2022.

The Athletic reported in July that Wolves are willing to sell Traore for £10 million this summer.

90min reported on August 2 that Tottenham are keeping tabs on the Wolves winger and could make a move for him if they are unable to sign Nicolo Zaniolo from AS Roma.

Taylor told GiveMeSport: ”Paratici is a huge fan, he tried to sign him when he was at Juventus, Conte obviously wanted him in January before he got the Barcelona move. But at the moment, there’s been surprisingly little interest in him.”

Should Tottenham Hotspur sign Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers?

In our view, if £10 million is what it takes for Tottenham Hotspur to sign Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer transfer window, then they should get a deal done.

Now.

That is ridiculously cheap for a player of Traore’s quality who has been praised by Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp and Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola in the past.

Traore is a frightening winger who can deliver wonderful crosses, works hard and is quick, and he would give Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte another valuable option in attack.
