Tottenham Hotspur appear to be edging closer to signing Adama Traore from Wolves.

Spurs have reportedly identified the Spain international as a priority signing in this transfer window.

Antonio Conte is apparently keen to deploy him as a wing-back as he puts his own stamp on the club.

“I made evaluations about the squad but I have spoken with the club and I hope the club will listen to me,” the Spurs boss said on Friday.

The Guardian claims that Tottenham and Wolves held fresh talks on Friday.

Spurs are increasingly confident that they’ll succeed in signing Traore and are preparing a new bid, added the report.

Traore has been unable to agree a new Wolves contract, despite several meetings with the Molineux club.

As his deal expires in June 2023, the January window is one of his club’s last chances to sell for a decent fee.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the state of play between Tottenham, Wolves and Traore.

Here’s what the transfer guru posted on Twitter on Saturday morning:

It’s been reported that Spurs will pay in the region of £20million for Traore, with potential add-ons.

The 25-year-old may have not been too prolific this season, but his overall game has improved.

He’s pressing much more, thinking more about his decisions when in possession, and is overall more selfless.

If Spurs pull this move off, it’ll be exciting to see what Conte will do with him and how much his game can progress even more.
