Wolves get hint on whether Adama Traore will join West Ham in time for Saturday

Nuno Espirito Santo is in town next up as his struggling West Ham United side will face Wolves on Saturday afternoon.

It’s a clash between two of the bottom three, but not even a win will ignite Wolves‘ survival hopes as Rob Edwards’ side are currently 15 points off Nottingham Forest in 17th.

Nuno Espirito Santo has had some trouble of his own with the West Ham owners, which has thrown his future into doubt after a poor start to the season.

Wolves fans have already put their club forward to welcome Nuno back at Molineux, but the Manchester United performance has reignited a bit of hope under Edwards.

This Saturday could prove crucial for both managers, with eyes already on Edwards, and nobody wants to be the team to hand the Old Gold their first win.

But that isn’t the only topic of conversation, as there has been talk of whether Adama Traore could join West Ham in time to face his old club this Saturday.

Adama Traore transfer hint dropped ahead of Wolves vs West Ham

Nuno Espirito Santo is desperate to bring Adama Traore back under his wing at West Ham, but the Hammers are currently encountering some issues with the fee (The Sun).

Unless things suddenly change, it doesn’t appear as if Traore will play against Wolves on Saturday.

He was spotted travelling in full Fulham gear (Jack Kelly) for their clash with Crystal Palace tonight, suggesting that nothing is imminent right now.

Adama Traore’s time at Wolves

Under former Wolves manager Nuno Espirito Santo, Traore underwent a significant tactical transformation. He was often used as an impact sub, but the one thing that let him down was his inconsistent final delivery, which saw him deployed as a right winger and a right wing-back.

Traore formed a prolific partnership with striker Raul Jimenez, with his ability to beat multiple defenders and deliver crosses becoming a primary source of goals for Wolves.

During his time at Molineux, Traore was frequently the most-fouled player in the Premier League, and famously applied baby oil to his arms before matches to make it harder for defenders to grab him.
