With his lightning-fast speed, Traore can terrorize any Premier League defense.
Despite making 20 Premier League games this season, he has only contributed one goal and no assists, which has earned him criticism.
Although he may yet produce better, Tottenham manager Antonio Conte is eager to sign him and may use him as a wing-back.
Even while his numbers might not match the 25-year-old’s apparent potential, he still has a lot of space to grow.
Although Cascarino, a former striker for Chelsea, thinks Conte can bring out the best in Traore, he cautions that Spurs would be taking a significant risk by signing him.
“He is amazing when he is at his most explosive. “This guy is so quick, this guy is just devastating,” says anybody seeing him, Cascarino said on Weekend Sports Breakfast.
It’s always troubling when his numbers are so bad. You may be wondering how he has only managed one goal this season—he only has one [goal]. I am aware that he lost his match against Brentford yesterday.
“He received three in every competition the previous season and six the one before that. In other words, over the past few years, he has truly regressed.
“Conte Antonio Need to see something to improve his numbers significantly.
Does he intend to use him as a wing-back? When I saw him at West Ham, Aaron Cresswell was unable to contain him. With his speed and skill at crossing the ball, he quickly altered the course of the match.
He is the kind of player who can transform the game. Despite having low numbers, his deadly pace may shift the course of a game.”
The conditions that will be extended to the Spain international will bring him closer to the highest paid players at Molineux, Joao Moutinho and Raul Jimenez, who each make roughly £100,000 per week.
By the end of the season, Traore’s current contract will only have 12 months left on it, so Wolves are eager to finalize it before the chance of him departing on a free transfer in the summer of 2023 increases.
Despite not being included in the starting lineup for Wolves’ most recent league match, a 1-0 victory against Southampton, Traore has emerged as a crucial player for new manager Bruno Lage in the opening stages of the season.
Following their productive collaboration with Traore at Wolves, Nuno Espirito Santo was eager to work with him again at Spurs.
However, Wolves had demanded almost £50 million from Spurs, and Wolves never expected their Premier League opponents to accept offers to sign Traore on a temporary loan that would have become permanent at the end of the season.
