Tottenham Hotspur appear to be in the market for a new right wing-back option, with several names linked with a move to north London in recent weeks.

And journalist Pete O'Rourke believes that Wolverhampton Wanderers star Adama Traore is a realistic target as he's out of contract at the end of the season.

90min claim that Spurs have recently enquired about Netherlands "terror" Denzel Dumfries, who will face Argentina in the World Cup quarter-finals on Friday evening, but transfer insider Dean Jones poured cold water on such rumours, despite some reports suggesting that Inter Milan would sell him for around €60m (£51.7m).

Speaking to Football FanCast this week, the reliable reporter delivered his verdict on the two mooted players, and said:

"You probably see Adama Traore as a more attainable target [compared to Denzel Dumfries]. He still hasn't that contract at Wolves, so he's a free-agent in the summer."

The Spain international has long been linked with a switch to Tottenham over the last few years and now, new claims suggest that sporting director Fabio Paratici remains interested but he faces stiff competition from England and abroad, via 90min.

He nearly joined the club last January for around £20m before opting for a return to LaLiga giants Barcelona.

Given the fact that Traore is out of contract in the summer, the 26-year-old powerhouse would be a rather cheap alternative to Dumfries, who'll cost in excess of £50m.

Whilst the Wolves' winger's track record in the final third isn't great, with only nine goals and 16 assists in 172 top-flight appearances, he is still an undoubtedly dangerous threat to any opposition defender.

It's why he has been lauded as an "animal", a "beast" and a "monster" by his peers, ranging from Southampton striker Che Adams to Barcelona boss Xavi Hernandez.

Traore also has experience in the right wing-back role, having been deployed there at Molineux by former Lilywhites boss Nuno Santo, and this would likely be his role under Antonio Conte as he's not getting in the starting XI above Dejan Kulusevski or Richarlison but he could prove to be a bigger threat than both Emerson Royal and Matt Doherty.

As per WhoScored, the Wolves dynamo is averaging more key passes and dribbles per game than the ineffective Spurs duo, so that would certainly suggest that he'd be a greater threat going forward from the attacking role.

With Spurs likely to be priced out of a move for Dumfries this winter, Traore could indeed be a bargain solution to the Italian's woes.
