While not mathematically safe, it does appear that Leeds United are on course to secure a second consecutive season in the Premier League.

The Whites made a number of statements in the transfer market last summer. And having established themselves as one of the most exciting teams in the division this year, it would perhaps be no surprise to see Victor Orta set his sights on a few more marquee arrivals.

One of the names apparently on their radar is Adama Traore. 90min reported in December that Marcelo Bielsa is an admirer of the Wolves winger.

That report suggested that he could cost around £40 million. Of course, no January move would end up taking place.

However, it appears that he remains on their wishlist. Eurosport reported earlier this month that a summer bid for the Spain international is likely.

Of course, there is no question that Bielsa will do his research if he is asked whether he wants Adama signed this summer.

But perhaps Leeds may move a lot closer this week to deciding whether they plan to make a move for the 25-year-old.

That is because the Whites travel to Molineux to face Wolves. And it seems more than likely that Leeds will be tasked with containing Adama.

The wide-man has played 90 minutes in Wolves’ last three games. He is actually still awaiting his first goal or assist this season. But there is no question that he has looked to be back to his best recently.

Obviously, Leeds’s potential task this summer will be made no easier should he continue to impress. But if he does do well against the Whites, perhaps Bielsa will be even more likely to give a future bid his backing.
