Wolverhampton Wanderers fans want Spanish starlet Adama Traore to start against Brighton on Saturday after eight substitute appearances.

Wolves had put together a superb opening run of games prior to the international break having utilised the same starting XI, making it hard for Nuno Espírito Santo to hand a starting debut to the club’s record transfer signing.

The £18million man joined from Middlesbrough, where he scored five times in 36 games for the Championship side across the 2017/18 campaign, but has found minutes at Molineux harder to come by.

His impact has been key, though, bringing the team's average for dribbles per match up from less than five - the otherwise second lowest in the Premier League - in his 190 minutes, as well as scoring once.

The former Barcelona youth star - who Transfermarkt value at £16.2million - is now being requested by Wolves fans to start against Brighton on Saturday as the club looks to rise from the ashes of defeat, where Traore played just 18 minutes against Watford a week ago.

A recent poll on Football FanCast found 73% of Wolves fans want the 22-year-old to start for Espírito Santo, despite Diogo Jota and Helder Costa starting every game so far.
