Adama Traore
could be on his way to Stamford Bridge.
According to transfer news from Shropshire Star, Chelsea are keeping tabs on Wolves winger Adama Traore. Chelsea are hoping to take advantage of his contract situation at the club and sign him in the summer.
The 25-year-old Wolves man has incredible pace, which makes
him hard to catch and shrug off the ball. He has raised his output in front of
goal to go with his bag of tricks.

While he may not have had his best season for the side in the
one that went by, he is still one of the more effective wingers in the league.
There was also the injury to Raul Jimenez, with who he had formed a dangerous
partnership. His absence might have also affected his tally in front of goal.
It is understood that contract talks have been going on between
the club and player for a while now. It has dragged on to the point where he
has two years left on his deal. While that is still a lot of time, the fact
that this is dragging out for so long points to a possible exit from the club.
Chelsea have expressed an interest in the Spaniard and will
keep an eye on any developments that happen and might make a move accordingly.
It is a rather surprising bit of news that Chelsea are going
after Traore. The speedster is definitely a handy player to have on your side
but the fact remains that he is too inconsistent. Taking a punt on him may be
worth it but Chelsea might want to reconsider their stance.
