Everton must act quick and sign Wolves winger Adama Traore
Everton must move quickly and ensure the signing of Wolves veteran winger Adama Traore in the summer transfer window while they can.
The Toffees have been recently linked with a move for the 26-year-old in the offseason, according to Football Insider.
The Spain international is now back at Wolves after his unsuccessful loan spell at Barcelona came to an end. As the Catalans refused to sign him permanently, Wolves are looking to hear other offers for the 26-year-old.
The report stated that the Toffees’ director of football Kevin Thelwell is a massive fan of Traore, believing that he could bring a new dimension to Frank Lampard’s football model.
It is believed that a transfer value of £20m will be enough to sign the star winger but with Wolves looking to sign new players, they might be forced to accept an offer of less than that.
Perfect Winger
If you ask Wolves fans about Traore, they will talk about pace and mobility with and without the ball.
The Spaniard has made a huge fan following during his time at the Molineux Stadium. Pep Guardiola once said, via the Manchester Evening News: “He is a motorcycle! It’s almost impossible. Nobody can handle this pace”.
If we talk about Lampard’s playing style, Traore is exactly the kind of player that he would like as he is someone who would fit into a counter-attacking style of play where his pace will be of extreme value for the Toffees.
Considering Lampard doesn’t have prime wingers in his team but Demarai Gray and Andros Townsend, and Richarlison’s future is in doubt, Traore would be a welcome addition to the club.
