Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto has confirmed speculation linking the Championship promotion hopefuls with a move for former Aston Villa winger Bertrand Traore.<\/p>\n
The 31-year-old Burkina Faso international is a free agent, without a club after spending last season at Sunderland.<\/p>\n
“It’s going to happen,” Peixoto told BBC Radio WM<\/a>, speaking after Sunday’s 2-2 draw with Birmingham City at St Andrew’s.<\/p>\n “It’s one more player with quality. It’s the winger that we need, with a left foot like I want.<\/p>\n “The player will come to improve the team like I want. We find the right name to put in the right area.”<\/p>\n It is thought that Traore might take the place of 27-year-old Santiago Bueno in Wolves’ 25-man squad for the rest of the Championship season.<\/p>\n “We are still going to have to talk about that, but he’s coming in.”<\/p>\n The former Chelsea youth player spent three years on Villa’s books after signing from Lyon for \u00a317m <\/a>for then boss Dean Smith in September 2020.<\/p>\n He then moved on in the January 2024 window to join Villareal on a free transfer<\/a> before making a return move to Dutch giants Ajax and signing a one-year contract at Sunderland<\/a> 12 months ago, with the option of a further year which was not taken up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wolves boss Cesar Peixoto has confirmed speculation linking the Championship promotion hopefuls with a move for former Aston…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":762111,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-762110","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762110","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=762110"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/762110\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/762111"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=762110"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=762110"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=762110"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
