Chelsea are looking to bring in some attacking reinforcements this summer and according to Telegraph journalist Matt Law, the Blues are looking at Wolves winger Adama Traore who also happens to be a target for Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp.

Hakim Ziyech has been a hit and miss this past season which is why manager Thomas Tuchel wants an upgrade. And if Matt Law is correct then 25-year-old Adama Traore could be that man.

Matt Law said on the London is Blue Podcast: “There’s definite interest in Adama Traore (£20-£25m fee).”

Adama Traore set to exit Wolves this summer?

It’s no secret that Wolves are ready to sell some of their best players to be able to offset the losses they have suffered in recent years and according to an exclusive report by 90min, the names of Ruben Neves and Adama Traore rank high on that list.

90min had claimed a few weeks ago: “Wolves have informed new head coach Bruno Lage, who has replaced fellow countryman Nuno Espirito Santo at Molineux, that some of the bigger names at the club will be sold this summer in order fund reinvestment in the squad – including Ruben Neves and Adama Traore.

“90min has already revealed that Chinese owners Fosun are restructuring their commitment and involvement with the club and it will take player sales to recoup some finances in order to now make a suitable spending budget available to the recruitment department.”

So far Liverpool have been the only major club linked with the winger but now this entry of Chelsea is sure to spice things up.

Wolves will be loving this scenario since they will be able to jack up their asking rate for the Spanish international but we doubt if either Liverpool or Chelsea will be ready to spend the big bucks on him.

Traore was on fire during the 2019-20 season but last campaign, he has really scraped the bottom, scoring two and assist three goals in 37 Premier League games. Plus he has only two years left on his current deal.

TransferMarkt values him at £27 million and we will be really surprised in either of the two interested clubs were ready to pay more than £30 million for the winger.

Chelsea’s interest in Adama Traore will be determined by whether they can find suitable buyers for players like Hakim Ziyech and Ruben Loftus-Cheek. And as far as Liverpool are concerned, the only way they will be able to sign the Wolves man is if Klopp can convince him to be the backup to Mo Salah.
