Opposition Dangerman: Wolves (A)

After Saturday’s win at Stamford Bridge, West Ham United travel up north to try and continue their good run by beating Wolverhampton Wanderers.

But Wolves, who are currently sitting sixth just four points above the Hammers, will certainly want to continue their own streak of form.

Nuno Esposito Santo’s side will look to overtake Tottenham Hotspur and shorten the gap between them and the top four.

One player has recently been nothing less than a stand-out, both in the UEFA Europa League and the Premier League.

And this is exactly who we think will be Wolves’ dangerman.

ADAMA TRAORE

Heavily criticised for the lack of end product in the past, Adama Traore has really excelled this season in both his performances and goal involvement.

The Spanish winger so far has scored three goals and managed six assists in all competitions, including two very late goals against reigning champions Manchester City.

He also isn’t anonymous for West Ham fans, being the player to score Wolves’ injury-time winner against the Hammers at the London Stadium in September 2018.

And to stop him from being involved, the visitors will have to bring all the big guns down the left side as his pace, power and dribbling is close to being unmatched.
