Transfer News: Chelsea favourites to land Adama Traore

According to transfer news from Burnley Express, Chelsea are favourites to land Adama Traore from Wolves. The Blues are said to be leading the race for the Spanish winger ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool.

The 25-year-old Wolves man has incredible pace, which makes him hard to catch and shrug off the ball. He has made a name for himself at the Molineux after failed stints at previous clubs such as Middlesbrough.

While he may not have had his best season for the side in the one that went by, he is still one of the more effective wingers in the league. There was also the injury to Raul Jimenez, with who he had formed a dangerous partnership. His absence might have also affected his tally in front of goal.

Chelsea have expressed an interest in the Spaniard and will keep an eye on any developments that happen and might make a move accordingly. It is now understood that Chelsea have become the favourites ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool to secure his signing. The speedster is expected to cost a good £30m.

It is a rather surprising bit of news that Chelsea are going after Traore. He is definitely a handy player to have on your side but the fact remains that he is too inconsistent. Taking a punt on him may be worth it but Chelsea might want to reconsider their stance.
