Leeds United must sign £10m-rated Adama Traore despite his flaws
Leeds United are going through a transitional phase after coming off the back of a disappointing campaign where they narrowly managed to escape relegation.
In the ongoing transfer window, they have already lost two of their star players in Kalvin Phillips and Raphinha to Manchester City and Barcelona.
Even though they’ve already signed as many as six players but they are continued to be linked with a number of other options.
One of the players whom they’ve been linked with is Wolves winger Adama Traore and according to the Express & Star, a bid in the region of £10million will be enough to sign the 26-year-old.
A new contract is also said to be off the table with neither party interested.
Tricky Winger
Traore is one of the most threatening wingers in the Premier League when on song. It is very surprising that a winger with that sort of potential has never been involved in that many goals throughout the course of his career.
In his six Premier League seasons with Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves respectively, the 26-year-old is yet to score in double figure in one domestic season.
His best campaign was in 2019-20 when he scored six goals in all competitions, including a Premier League brace against Premier League champions Manchester City away from home. At Barcelona last season, he provided four assists in the 17 appearances for the club.
Leeds have made a number of signings in this transfer window but not one of them have any experience of playing in the Premier League.
Those numbers of Traore will not look appealing to many but considering that he has a lot of experience in the Premier League, he might prove to be an excellent acquisition, especially if he is available for just £10 million.
