According to 90min.com, Liverpool are interested in signing Adama Traore.

What's the story?

Former Barcelona youth product Traore has been in stellar form so far this campaign, scoring five goals and providing seven assists in all competitions for Wolves.

As such, he has attracted interest from a number of top clubs, including the Reds. Manchester City are also looking at the 23-year-old, whilst the Blaugrana have also been linked with re-signing the blistering winger. The report does mention that his employers will not accept bids of less than £70m, though - the same initial fee they paid for Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in 2018, as per The Telegraph.

Waste of money

There is no doubting that Traore has really started to come of age this term under Nuno Espirito Santo. His two performances against the Citizens, in particular, have caught the eye, with him scoring three and providing one assist as the Midlands outfit triumphed both home and away versus the Premier League champions.

However, there have been plenty of fears in the past that he lacks end product - and that has come from the player himself as well. Last term, he managed just one goal and three assists in all competitions for Wolves, whilst he created just three goals in 37 top-tier matches before that.

This improvement in form has come over just six months - is that really enough to warrant paying such a huge fee? Traore is no doubt exciting, and you rarely know what will come next with him. His better performances have come as he has received increased playing time - last term, he started just eight matches in the league, compared to 17 already this time around with 17 games left.

At Anfield, needing to compete with Mohamed Salah on the right wing, he would likely come out second best, and would need to once again play a bit-part role as he has done in the past. There would be a real possibility that he would drop off in terms of his final ball, whether that be scoring himself or providing. As his 5.6 dribbles per match indicate, he is rarely on the periphery, but that could very much be the case under Jurgen Klopp.

As exciting as Traore is, this is a transfer that the 52-year-old should avoid.
