New position for Wolves winger
Tottenham are still to finalise a deal for Adama Traoré, but are confident of signing the Wolves winger before the January transfer window shuts. Spurs want to bring the 26-year-old Spain international to north London and remain in talks with their Premier League counterparts over a switch as they try to finally land a player they also tried to sign in the summer.
According to Sky Sports and The Athletic, Wolves have rejected a £15 million (€17.9 million) offer last week and are holding out for £20 million (€23.9 million) to £25 million (€29.8 million). Traoré, who is out of contract next year and will not be renewing at Molineux, is one of Tottenham’s main targets this month. Managing director of football Fabio Paratici is a keen admirer, having previously tried to take him to Juventus, with head coach Antonio Conte intending to turn him into a right wing-back.

Traoré has played 25 times for Wolves this season, scoring just one goal and would become the tenth Spaniard in Tottenham’s history. Spurs are hoping that his likely arrival will form part of a busy six days between now and the transfer window shutting next week. Conte has identified a right wing-back, midfielder – talks about Fiorentina’s Sofyan Amrabat are ongoing, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano – and striker as positions to strengthen, though any arrivals could hinge on players moving the other way.
Tottenham departures: Alli, Lo Celso and Ndombélé all available
Dele Alli, Giovani Lo Celso and record signing Tanguy Ndombélé are all available to leave, with interest understood to be there in all three players. The trio were left out of Sunday’s 2-0 Premier League defeat at Chelsea.
Ndombélé has been training away from the first team for the last couple of weeks and has been linked with a loan move to PSG while Lo Celso, who is currently on international duty with Argentina, revealed on Instagram that he was fully fit.
