Wolves are ready to deal in Boubacar Traore.

Wolves signed the 21-year-old in the dying hours of the summer transfer window on a season-long loan from French club Metz, with a £9.5million option to buy him next summer.

However, Wolves also confirmed that the loan would automatically become permanent if certain clauses were triggered.

The Express & Star says the £9.5million deal is set to be triggered on his appearances in a Wolves shirt. The number of appearances needed is understood to be very low and it is a matter of when, and not if, Traore signs permanently.

The midfielder has already played nine games for Wolves and with the second half of the season to come, it is expected to be a formality that he stays with the club.
