Tottenham ‘lining up £45million Adama Traore transfer’ with new boss Nuno ready to raid old club Wolves

TOTTENHAM are interested in signing Wolves star Adama Traore, according to reports.

New boss Nuno Espirito Santo likes the winger, having worked with him for three seasons at Molineux.

Traore, 25, is expected to be on the way out of the Midlands club this summer, as chiefs look to cash in with the Spaniard's contract lasting just two more years.

Leeds United, Chelsea and Liverpool have also been credited with an interest in his services.

But Spurs' Nuno factor could give them an edge.

Although, according to the , Wolves are expected to ask for a similar £45million fee that they received from Liverpool for Diogo Jota last summer.

Traore has impressed Spurs first hand in the past, scoring a brilliant goal against them in a December 2019 defeat.

Meanwhile, Tottenham are currently trying to tie up a £43m deal for Atalanta defender Cristian Romero.

The Argentine, 23, could join the Lilywhites this week - and may not be the last defender to arrive at Hotspur Way this summer.

With Davinson Sanchez possibly heading to Sevilla, Tottenham could finally pounce to sign Japanese star Takehiro Tomiyasu.
