Liverpool ponder fresh look at Wolves attacker Traore with Klopp big fan

Liverpool are again being linked with a summer move for Wolves attacker Adama Traore.

The Mirror says Liverpool could take another look at the Spain international this summer, particularly with Nuno's departure as Wolves manager.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp hasn't been shy about his admiration for Adama.

“He is a big, big talent," the Reds boss said back two seasons ago. "You would never have thought he is that young, but he is still very young, and now he has found it (the right manager).

"It was always clear it would happen one day, and now it has. Good for Wolves!"

Speaking after Traore gave his squad a real scare on their way to winning the title, he added: “And Traore now, at the moment I would say he is, pretty much, unplayable. I've said it now a couple of times and it is still true.

“He is now not only a winger anymore, he keeps the ball, holds the ball and sets up goals, obviously.

“That makes it so difficult, each ball you lose is 100% a counter attack and half a goal."

And even when Liverpool comfortably got the better of Traore and Wolves earlier this year, Klopp described the 25-year-old as “undefendable".
