Fulham want to extend Adama Traore’s contract
TBR Football understands that Fulham are ready to open contract talks with Adama Traore after his hugely impressive start to the new season.
Traore has been reinvigorated under Silva and is starting to fulfil his true potential – which Wolves managed to unlock at times.
The 28-year-old is out of contract at the end of the season and TBR Football has been told that Silva has given the green light for the club to open contract talks with the Spanish international – who has two goals and an assist to his name already.
The Barcelona youth product is understood to be earning around £65,000-a-week, according to , so any forthcoming renewal could place him among Fulham’s top earners.
Adama Traore statistics
Traore’s underlying statistics make for very impressive reading and evince exactly why he should be offered a new deal.
The former Wolves wide player ranks in the top one per cent for assists per 90 compared to his positional peers across Europe.
He also sits in the top four per cent for progressive carries, amplifying his terrific dribbling ability.
