Wolverhampton Wanderers fans have fumed following a touted transfer rumour surrounding a move for Adama Traore to Tottenham Hotspur.
According to Football Insider, a number of Spurs’ senior players called on Jose Mourinho to make a move for the Spaniard following the clash between the two sides due to how impressed they were with him (via Talking Wolves).
With Wolves fans already furious over what they perceived to be a rough treatment of the 23-year-old by the North London club (via Tim Spiers), they fumed that the link had come about.
He’s going nowhere..

Nuno and the coaching team are his mentors. He ran over to them to celebrate his goal. He won’t leave them.

Alongside his strong return, he also has a highly impressive 7.5/10 average rating for this term (via Whoscored), meaning Wolves fans were desperate for Traore to stay.
So far this term, the Spanish attacker has been in scintillating form, having featured in 26 games for the Old Gold in all competitions in which he has netted four goals and six assists (via Transfermarkt).
They can have him for 600 million and a multipack of Doritos? Cool original no alternative

What do we think?
With the level of performances that the 23-year-old is putting in on a consistent basis it is likely that Traore will be on a couple of managers’ Christmas wish lists, but wanting and getting are very different things. It is certain that Wolves would be very reluctant to sell.
