Details
Tottenham were also in the race to sign Traore

According to an ESPN report, Tottenham were also in the race to sign the 26-year-old winger. Antonio Conte was pushing for Traore's move as he wanted to sign him for a possible wing-back position, the report added. However, in the end, Traore decided to move to the Spanish side instead. He will be presented as a Barca player on Wednesday behind closed doors.

Statement
Scott Sellars on Traore's move to Barca

After the move was finalized, Wolves' technical director Scott Sellars said that this is a "dream" transfer for Traore. "Everyone knows Barcelona is a city, and club, very close to Adama's heart, so it is a dream move for him," he said as quoted by AFP. "We have agreed a very healthy option in the deal should Barcelona wish to make the move permanent."

Transfer
Traore is Barca's third signing

Traore is Barcelona's third signing in the January transfer window after Ferran Torres and Dani Alves. Traore's return has provided Barca boss Xavi Hernandez with another attacking option as Ansu Fati has been sidelined with an injury. Meanwhile, Ousmane Dembele is in exile after failing to sign the new contract with the club. Dembele's contract is set to expire in June 2022.

Stats
Traore's numbers in Premier League

Traore played 20 Premier League games in the 2021-22 season and scored just one goal. He failed to provide a single assist. Overall, he has played 160 games in the PL since 2015, scoring eight goals, besides providing 14 assists. He had a superb 2019-20 campaign for Wolves, scoring four league goals and making nine assists.
