Exclusive: Tottenham confident of sealing eight-figure deal, £120,000-a-week salary agreed

Tottenham Hotspur have agreed to pay Wolves winger Adama Traore £120,000-per-week ahead of a prospective deal that would see him join the club on an initial loan ahead of a permanent transfer in the summer, a source has exclusively told GiveMeSport.

The club have been in lengthy talks with the Molineux club over a deal to sign the Spain international in this window and appear to have made a significant breakthrough as they bid to strengthen Antonio Conte’s squad.

They have been in talks with Wolves for a number of days now as Spurs aim to give Conte the right wing-back that he desires in this transfer window.

Conte has tracked Traore for some time, with links even emerging when he was Chelsea manager and the winger was still playing for Middlesbrough.

GMS has been told that Conte has requested the signing of the 26-year-old as he views the right wing-back position as a specific weakness within his squad.

Both Matt Doherty and Emerson Royal have flattered to deceive in the role and Spurs have agreed to pay Adama £120,000-per-week at the club.

That is a wage, per Spotrac, that would make him one of the highest-paid players at the club, only behind Harry Kane, Tanguy Ndombele, and Son Heung-Min.

The personal terms being completed removes a significant stumbling block to his signing but there remains a need for Spurs to make a formal bid to Wolves in order to finalise any deal.

There would also be a loan fee of £2.25m, as the player would move
