The Wolves winger recently earned praise from Jurgen Klopp, who described the speedy Spaniard as “unplayable in moments.”

Liverpool should go after Adama Traore as he is “100 percent” suited to their playing style, according to Emile Heskey.

Traore has been linked with a transfer to Liverpool, as well as some other top European sides, since his breakthrough season with Wolves in 2019/20.

The 25-year-old played a key role made 18 goal contributions to help his side finish in the top half of the Premier League table and reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League, where they lost to eventual champions Sevilla.

Although his standards have slipped this term and he is struggling to make goal contributions, the forward remains one of the most dangerous players in the English top-flight.

And the former Reds striker believes a player who possesses a unique combination of pace, power, and versatility would fit in perfectly in Jurgen Klopp’s team.

“I think he suits a lot of teams but 100% Liverpool,” Heskey told Rousing The Kop.

“If you look at last season the way Liverpool played a lot of the goals they scored, a lot of them were fast counter attacks.

“He definitely comes into that bracket, again there’s no reason why you can’t have competition in several positions.”
