Tottenham boss Mourinho: What Karanka told me about Adama...

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has admitted his admiration for Wolves winger Adama Traore.

Spurs meet Wolves later today.

Mourinho said, "He's very difficult to stop. If you want to stop on a sprint with him, just forget it, you have no chance. You cannot think about him as an individual, you have to think about him as a whole.

"He is so, so fast and fast and powerful, that is very, very difficult to stop. He had a great evolution with Nuno in the past couple of seasons.

"My former assistant (Aitor) Karanka was his coach in Middlesbrough and at that time he told me 'I have this boy that when he understands the game better and he has time to technically improve, I have a guy who is going to be unstoppable'. Unstoppable is a hard word in football but he is a very good player."
