Liverpool target Traore is ‘a nightmare for defenders’ says expert
Adama Traore is good enough to make either Liverpool or Manchester City's starting XIs, according to former Chelsea defender Jason Cundy. Wolves winger Traore has had a real breakthrough season under Nuno Espirito Santo. The 24-year-old is now adding an end product to his phenomenal pace and power, having scored four goals and registered nine assists in the Premier League so far this term.
And Cundy believes the former Barcelona ace is not only good enough for newly-crowned champions Liverpool, he would be able to demand a starting spot under Jurgen Klopp.
“Adama Traore, he is good enough for Champions League football,” Cundy said on talkSPORT.
“I believe he’s reached the sort of heights with his quality in the final third now, his delivery, his knowledge now and he’s learned from his own mistakes.
“And it’s with both feet – he put in a brilliant cross with his left foot [against Bournemouth].
“He can drop deep, he can travel with the ball, he’s incredibly strong, his footwork is excellent with the ball and without the ball, the way he moves the ball, his pace, his strength.

“I think he’s good enough to put him in Liverpool, you could put him in City and not only would he not look out of place, I think he could get to a place where he could actually demand a first-team place."
Wolves are in the hunt for a Champions League qualification spot this season.
"The reason is they enjoy working together so we don’t have to achieve anything to retain them. At no point am I thinking about it.
“We don’t think about that [the top four]. There’s no race for anything, the race is to compete, improve and make good games.
"This is the challenge for every team in this moment."
