Wolves’ Adama Traore emerges as surprise target for Thomas Tuchel

Adama Traore emerges as a surprise target for Thomas Tuchel as the coach seeks to add competition to the right side of the defence, according to The Telegraph’s Matt Law.

Despite an excellent display from Reece James in the Champions League final, Tuchel wants extra cover and believes that the Wolves star could offer more attacking threat from that position.

This should be part of another massive transfer campaign from Chelsea, with Tuchel willing to ‘build a Chelsea empire’ after all but securing a contract extension.

A new striker and a midfielder are also on the cards, with Romelu Lukaku and Declan Rice featuring on top of those respective lists.

The coach also would like to bring in at least one defender as well as tie Antonio Rudiger up to a new deal, as his current agreement expires next year.
