"He's warned the Wolves board" - Journalist drops interesting claim involving Lage

Bruno Lage really wants to keep Adama Traore and has fired the Wolves board a warning over selling him this month, says journalist Ryan Taylor.

The 26-year-old is of interest to Tottenham and a move to north London seems to be edging ever closer.

Traore is closing in on a move to Tottenham, with one source telling GIVEMESPORT that the club have agreed to pay the Wolves winger £120,000 a week in a potential £20m deal.

He has not been an automatic starter under Lage this season having been left on the bench on 11 occasions.

Even so, it seems that the Wolves boss still wants to keep him. And while he is not currently one of the first names on the team sheet, Traore has still seen a lot of action after making 23 appearances in all competitions for the Midlands club this term.

Furthermore, you can see why Lage would not want to lose him. Unfortunately for the Portuguese manager, though, an exit looks inevitable.

Traore's numbers have not been great this season, with the Spain international managing to score just one goal in the Premier League so far.

However, he is able to make a real impact off the bench, coming on to terrorise
