Chelsea show true standards with Traore transfer decision
Adama Traore: the Wolves winger with pace, trickery, and physicality that some of Europe’s elite coaches want to turn into a wing-back.infoguidenigeria
The Spaniard is in many ways a footballing enigma with a physical frame more often associated with a bodybuilder than a tricky, forward-thinking footballer, and it’s perhaps even more surprising there are teams hoping to redeploy his talents.
Tottenham are close to securing a move for the player as Antonio Conte tries to establish his preferred formation at Spurs, and the 26-year-old has been earmarked for a key role on the right flank as Spurs enter the business end of the season.
Chelsea have been searching for a wing-back due to injuries to the England international and Ben Chilwell. Names such as Sergino Dest have emerged, while the Blues’ preference appears to have been to secure their left flank with hopes of cutting Emerson Palmieri’s loan at Lyon short. jamb result

There appears to have been little chatter or interest in reestablishing an interest in Traore. A similar fee of £20million fee was noted in the summer, and it’s a figure that would have been well within Chelsea’s capability of reaching, but despite this winter’s misfortune, they may have landed on the right decision.
Traore could be a revelation at Spurs. He has attributes few players in the world possess, and leaves defenders sweating.
The Blues cannot settle for players to merely ‘do a job’ if they hope to close the gap to Manchester City, however. They need depth and players who can plug in and play the role in its entirety.
It will be a challenge to find those players when the talent is as good as Chilwell and James, but that has to be the standard the Blues aspire to.
