Fabrizio Romano has claimed Adama Traore is ‘super appreciated’ by Tottenham managing director of football Fabio Paratici.
The 25-year-old was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in the summer ahead of a potential reunion with Nuno Espirito Santo, who took over at the North London outfit in the summer.
A move, however, never came to fruition with Wolves’ reported £40 million asking price enough to put Spurs off and Nuno headed out of the exit soon after.
However, reports have re-emerged suggesting that Spurs plan to reignite their interest in Traore this month, with Antonio Conte reportedly shortlisting him as an incoming to operate in the right wing-back role in his side.
Transfer guru Romano has reiterated Spurs’ fondness of Traore, but also revealed that it is club chief Paratici that is a big admirer of the the Spanish wide man.
He also shared that although the club’s main target is a centre-back, Spurs could indeed go for a winger, but a move for Traore won’t be easy.
Speaking on The Here We Go Podcast, Romano said: “Yes, talking about Tottenham, they will go for a centre-back, the priority is a centre-back, but let’s also see if they will also go for a winger.

Spurs Web Opinion
It does seem like Spurs are very much interested in Traore and will approach Wolves again in January this time. He has the tools to be a very solid wing-back and Conte can work on the defensive side of his game for that, but it is his acquirement during the season that could be a problem.
