Adama Traore has been one of the real success stories at Wolverhampton Wanderers this season and that’s why there is reported interest in him ahead of the summer.

The Spanish right-winger was signed for £18million (BBC) back in 2018 from Middlesbrough and during his second campaign at Molineux he’s really stepped up.

After a mixed first season with Wolves, he’s improved massively to score six goals and supply 10 assists across all competitions so far this campaign.

The 24-year-old is a speed machine that has ripped open defences with his freakish pace, but most importantly his final ball has become much more consistent and he’s now a real key player in Nuno Espirito Santo’s team.

According to the Daily Mail in February, La Liga giants Barcelona were weighing up a potential summer move to re-sign Traore after he previously came through their academy system.

Wolves should do their best to keep Traore in the West Midlands considering his recent impact, but perhaps they do already have a replacement for him in their squad.

Wolves signed Pedro Neto at the beginning of the season at the beginning of the season from Braga and he arrived as a fairly unknown talent.

The 20-year-old has now shown enough around the first-team to showcase what a serious upcoming talent he is and the club appear to have pulled off a great deal for him.

He is a Portuguese winger that is similar to Traore in terms of his lighting pace and also willingness to dribble at opponents at every occasions.

Neto has four goals and four assists in the senior team so far this season for Wolves, including a vital equaliser on Thursday night during the 1-1 away draw to Olympiacos in the first leg of a Europa League last 16 tie.

Despite the fact he’s not a regular starter yet, he’s injecting real quality when he’s on the pitch and he’s a young talent that looks like he can develop into a big player over time for them.
