Leeds United told to seal Adama Traore deal amid 'huge' claim - pundit

Kevin Campbell has backed Leeds United to sign Adama Traore ahead of another potential relegation battle this season.

The former Arsenal striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, claimed the 26-year-old is a perfect fit for the Whites’ “vibrant and energetic” style of play.

According to 90min (2 December), Leeds United retain an interest in long-term target Traore – who has struggled for minutes at Wolves this season.

The report claims Tottenham are also interested in the Spain international’s services – as his contract enters its final six months.

The winger has played just 753 minutes across all competitions this season – starting just six Premier League games.

Traore spent the second half of last season on loan at Barcelona – and can discuss a pre-contract agreement with foreign sides from 1 January.

Campbell told Football Insider’s Ewan Kingsbury: “On his day he can upset anyone.

“Leeds are that type of team. They play with vibrancy, energy – and if you chuck him into the mix – the opposition defenders will have big problems.

“Look, he was being coveted by some huge clubs.

“I don’t think it would be a bad move for Leeds United to get him through the door in another relegation scrap.

“He’s a player the opposition sides won’t want to come up against.”

Leeds United sit 15th in the Premier League after 14 games – just two points above the relegation zone.

The Whites’ form has improved thanks to the emergence of young star Crysensio Summerville – as well as goals from Rodrigo.
