Premier League: Bertrand Traore closing in on Wolves move

The medical is already done

Free since the summer, Bertrand Traore spent Friday in Wolverhampton getting checked over by club doctors.

Foot Mercato report that he is set to join Wolves, medical passed. Only the contract is left to sign.

No fee is involved. For a Premier League side hunting attacking cover without touching the budget, that alone explains the interest.

Let’s do it

A return, not a new face

Traore is 30. He knows England, and Aston Villa in particular, where he left a decent mark.

So he knows what the league asks of you when the intensity never really drops. That counts for a player walking in without a proper pre-season behind him.

Last season was thin. Twelve appearances. One goal. Not the sort of return that gets doors flying open.

Wolves would open one.

A low-risk gamble

Nothing is official yet. The story comes from Foot Mercato and the club has said nothing.

The logic stacks up anyway. An experienced free agent who needs minutes, a squad that needs depth. If it gets over the line, nobody is betting the house.

Traore has more riding on it than the club does. At 30, with 12 games in his legs from last season, the clock starts moving fast.
