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

Published on: 

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.
