Liverpool keen on 24-year-old Spanish speedster but face competition from PL rivals

Adama Traore is a target for three Premier League clubs, including Liverpool

Liverpool are one of three Premier League clubs keen on landing Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore, according to Calciomercato (h/t Liverpool Echo).

Traore has been one of Wolves’ most consistent stars since they returned to the top-flight. The Spanish international racked up four goals and nine assists in the Premier League last season and has featured for the national side in this campaign too.

However, we ended up signing his teammate Diogo Jota, and the Portuguese star has been a hit since moving to Anfield.

Jota scored the winner against Sheffield United at the weekend, but there is further competition for Traore. The report claims that Manchester United and Manchester City are also interested in landing the 24-year-old.

Another quality attacker in the side?

The Reds are now blessed with several quality options for their front three. Jota has adjusted well to his new home while Takumi Minamino is getting more chances to prove himself.

Xherdan Shaqiri also got some minutes in the Champions League recently while the Reds also have Divock Origi on the bench.

Traore might find it hard to get regular starts if he was to sign for the Reds. However, the Spaniard is an incredible option to have and adds a lot of pace to our wings.

His signing also would bring further competition for places in the attack. An attack featuring Traore, Jota, Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane could be the most feared in England.

It will be interesting to see where Traore ends up in the future. He is doing a great job at Wolves now but joining a bigger club adds more pressure and expectations from the fans and the manager too.
