Aston Villa’s Jack Grealish has described reported Leeds United target Adama Traore as ‘silly fast’, in an interview with UMM on Youtube.
Leeds have been linked with Traore going into the summer, with EuroSport claiming that Marcelo Bielsa’s side are now expected to bid for the Wolves man.
Traore actually hasn’t had the most productive season at Wolves – yet he is a player who always receives compliments from his peers.
Opposition players often talk Traore up as being one of the hardest attackers to mark in the Premier League.
And Grealish has now admitted that the Wolves man is ‘silly fast’, in comments which will only increase excitement around Elland Road about his potential move.
“I think I’ve got okay speed, but if you put me against the wingers in the Prem… Some of them are rapid, like Adama and Raheem and people like that – they’re just silly fast,” he said.
Traore’s rapid pace could come in handy at Leeds, given Bielsa’s style.
Leeds are already hugely dangerous in transition, but if they could hit teams on the counter with players like Traore and Raphinha in their side, they would become a nightmare to play against.
It now just remains to be seen whether Wolves would be open to selling their wide-man if Leeds do make a bid, as he remains an important player for Nuno’s side, despite his lack of goals or assists this term.
