Report: Bielsa huge fan of EPL speed demon as Leeds plot move, he desires to work with El Loco – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Leeds United are weighing up a summer move for Wolverhampton Wanderers attacking midfielder Adama Traore, according to 90min.
The Spanish international is keen to leave Molineux ahead of the new season, with Whites head coach Marcelo Bielsa said to be a huge fan of his.
The Leeds boss believes Traore could blossom in his system at Elland Road, and the 25-year-old desires to work with him.
The Yorkshire giants wanted a loan move for the Spaniard in January, but nothing materialised.
Traore has just two years left on his deal, but he is not likely to sign an extension, and Wolves are now ready to listen to offers.

Leeds Director of Football Victor Orta is a fan of the Barcelona academy graduate having signed while working at Middlesbrough, and once claimed he can be the most exciting prospect in Spain.
Traore’s speed and tricks have caused plenty of problems for Premier League defences, and he can help improve the Whites attack.
Having him alongside Raphinha on both wings would make Leeds a better side in the final third and an exciting team to watch.
The likes of Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea have all kept close tabs on Traore, but it appears Leeds are now leading the race.
His finishing remains a weakness and in need of a lot of work, and Bielsa has a track record of improving players.
With both keen on working with each another, a move could be hugely mutually beneficial, and Orta would be looking to get a deal over the line.
