Tottenham are reportedly close to completing the signing of Adama Traore from Wolves.

The explosive winger would become the first new arrival of the Antonio Conte era and be utilised as a wing-back.

And the imminent move has seen Spurs' London rivals West Ham drop their interest in the Spain international, according to Football Insider.

It would be a new position for Traore - but while there are question marks over the 25-year-old's defensive qualities, his devastating pace and dribbling could make him a potent weapon there.

Speaking after spurning a great chance in Wolves' 0-0 draw with Burnley in December, Traore said:

"I have to improve those things [taking such opportunities] for myself and for my team.

"It is my main goal to score more goals. I've had one v one situations - I'm having those situations, but I need to improve."
