Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has raved about Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore in Football London.
The Daily Mirror claimed in April that Arsenal were keen on Traore, with Arteta looking to improve his attack.
Arsenal will get a first-hand look at the Spaniard tomorrow, when they take on Wolves.
And Arteta admits that he is fearful of the dangers that Traore can pose.
“I always saw incredible potential that the moment he could evolve certain areas of his game that he was unstoppable to play at times,” Arteta said.
“When he gets the service in the right moments and gets isolated, he’s a player that is so difficult to defend and he’s showing that in a constant way right now – something [which] for a very talent player is not easy to do.”
Arteta’s words will do little to calm rumours that Arsenal want the 24-year-old, but whether they could afford him remains to be seen.
Arsenal are thought to be working on a limited budget this summer, and Wolves want a massive fee for Traore.
According to 90 minutes, Wolves would demand £70 million for the explosive winger, which may put him out of Arsenal’s price-range.
Traore has scored six goals for Wolves this term, and claimed 12 assists.
