Spurs line up Adama Traore move
Tottenham were thought to be leading the race for Adama Traore, with Wolves keen to sell the wide man who is out of contract in 18 months and has shown no sign of wanting to renew his deal at Molineux.
The Spaniard, who also caught the eye of West Ham before David Moyes ruled out a move, has been in and out of the starting XI, making 10 starts in 19 appearances thus far in the Premier League.
And while there are suggestions that Antonio Conte is keen on bringing the winger to the Tottenham Hotspur stadium in order to utilise him as a wing-back, as he did with Victor Moses at Chelsea, he is not alone in his admiration of the player.

Indeed, Barcelona may have just entered the fray.
Barcelona keen on a Traore reunion
According to reports coming out of Spain, Adama Traore is being seriously considered as the “wildcard” replacement for Ousmane Dembele in Catalonia.
Any potential move is helped by three factors. Firstly, Adama is represented by Jorge Mendes, who is an influential agent at many top clubs.
Additionally, the Wolves man is a former La Masia graduate, and therefore could be keen on a return.
And thirdly, and perhaps most crucially, Barcelona have leverage in the form of Fransisco Trincao, who is currently on loan at Wolves from Barcelona.

With all this in mind, does a move for Adama make perfect sense for Xavi and co.?
