This Thursday sees Liverpool journey to Wolverhampton Wanderers, at the time of writing The Reds are 16 points clear at the top of the table but Manchester City have to take on Sheffield United away. With FourFourTwo reporting that Liverpool are interested in Adama Traore, the winger could audition for Jürgen Klopp on Thursday.
Traore has had a star turn season for Wolves, the 23-year-old has notched four goals and six assists in 19 starts for the sixth place side – including big goals in big games, he notched a goal and an assist against Manchester City.
FourFourTwo reported that Liverpool are chasing Adama Traore along with Manchester City, whilst 90Min wrote that Barcelona are also in contention for his signature.
If Barca want him they may have a leg up given that Traore was trained at the famous La Masia youth academy in Catalonia.
The winger offers something unique in football – he is both impossibly strong and impossibly fast.
Wolves’ wanted wideman has shown this season that he has started improving his end product, he is not just a physical prospect.
Liverpool could pay close attention to Adama Traore as he auditions for Jürgen Klopp on Thursday.
The German coach has shown that he can improve players, he makes superstars he doesn’t buy them. A player like Traore is perfectly suited to this Liverpool side.
He appears to still be a raw talent at the minute, with untapped potential. A year or two with Jürgen Klopp could turn him into a world class player.
Traore will be one of his side’s most potent threats in the midweek fixture. Even though Virgil van Dijk managed to keep up with him the last time the two had a foot race, the winger has come on leaps and bounds since.
It will certainly be an interesting watch as the burly, pacy Traore faces off against the diminutive Andy Robertson.
