Adama Traore would be a "perfect" signing for Liverpool, according to Gabby Agbonlahor.

Speaking exclusively to Football Insider, the ex-Aston Villa and England forward insisted the winger would offer the Reds something none of the attackers can offer.

He has two years left to run on his current contract and negotiations over an extension stalled last October over money.

Traore endured a difficult campaign for Wolves last term as he registered just two goals and three assists in 37 Premier League games.

Asked whether the Spain international could thrive at Anfield, Agbonlahor told Football Insider correspondent Connor Whitley: "Yes, I think it would be a good signing.

"It would give Liverpool a plan B. You saw it for Spain, he was there as an option, a plan B.

"Liverpool haven't really got that at the moment. Liverpool's bench is very poor at the moment. When you're looking at [Xhederan] Shaqiri, [Divock] Origi.

"They need someone who can come on for Mane or Salah who's different. I think Traore would be the perfect player."

Traore has scored seven goals and provided 16 assists in 140 Premier League games across spells with Aston Villa, Middlesborough and Wolves.

He also has six international caps to his name and was part of the Spain squad at this summer's European Championship.
