Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with Adama Traore, but Barcelona president Joan Laporta has suggested his plan to RAC1 to stop the Antonio Conte from signing the Wolverhampton Wanderers-owned winger.
According to Sport, Tottenham are still interested in signing winger Traore from Premier League rivals Wolves in the summer transfer window.

Spurs tried to sign the 26-year-old Spain international winger from Wolves in the January transfer window, but, as Mundo Deportivo reported in February, he turned them down.
Barcelona president Laporta has said that he plans to do a swap deal involving Traore and Francisco Trincao.
Trincao is on loan at Wolves at the moment from Barcelona.
Laporta told RAC1, as translated by journalist Fabrizio Romano: “I think a swap deal with Wolves between Francisco Trincão and Adama Traore could be a very good option. We’re really happy with Adama and his impact, attitude, performances.”
Adama Traore blow for Tottenham Hotspur
In our opinion, Laporta’s comments on Traore are a blow for Tottenham.
The Barcelona president clearly likes the winger and is happy with him.
Now, of course, we know that Barcelona are not doing so well financially, so they will have to find other ways to sign Traore.
If Wolves are happy with Trincao and want to keep him at the club in the long run, then Barcelona could get a swap deal done, which would mean that Tottenham would miss out on Traore.
