Kevin Phillips has tipped Wolves winger Adama Traore to sign for Liverpool in January.
Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Sunderland and England striker is adamant the 25-year-old “would jump at the chance” to move to Anfield.

“Traore would jump at the chance to join Liverpool. You do not turn that opportunity down, even if you are going to sit on the bench a little bit. Traore has been at Wolves a while now.

“As an impact player I think he’d be a good signing though. I think for £20million it is a good deal all round.”
In an interview with Goal last season, Trent Alexander-Arnold heaped praise on Traore.
He said: “It’s almost not human the way he can change direction and go. I’ve never felt so powerless against someone.”
