West Ham are close to signing Middlesbrough player Adama Traore – and fans on Twitter have urged the club to complete a deal for the winger.
Read West Ham’s official Twitter account posted an image of the London Evening Standard newspaper which reported that the 21-year-old held talks with Hammers co-owner David Sullivan on Friday.
The former Barcelona player first moved to England during the summer of 2015 when Aston Villa signed him up for a fee of £8million.

However, the speed machine suffered relegation with the Midlands outfit before making a switch to Boro who suffered the same fate during the recently concluded Premier League campaign.
Despite this, many West Ham supporters would be pleased if they could pull off a deal for the Spanish attacker, who is known for his lighting pace on the wings.
Fans did question Traore’s decision-making and his end product, however, they feel the former Barca man has great potential.
Many supporters feel his pace out wide or possibly through the middle is exactly what the London club need following their disappointing Premier League campaign.
He provided only one assist for Boro during the 2016/17 season and he is yet to score a Premier League goal since he moved to England two years ago.
If he were to make a switch to the London Stadium then he would join a Hammers side that finished in the bottom half of the table.

Adama Traore a good, skillfull player. However, can't help but feel he needs to add an end product to his game to properly thrive in the PL

Excited about this prospect. However, the players decision-making still needs a lot of work. Definitely pace and raw technical talent.
