WOLVES manager Bruno Lage says the club have not received an offer for Adama Traore.
Traore, who is approaching the final year of his contract, has been linked with a move to Chelsea and Tottenham.
The Daily Telegraph reported this week that Spurs want to take the 25-year-old winger on loan, while Wolves are holding out for a £20million bid.
But Lage, speaking ahead of his side’s Premier League clash against Southampton on Saturday, is hopeful Traore will stay.
Asked if a bid had been tabled for the Spaniard, Lage said: “No. It is the same Adama since the first day.
“Nothing has changed. Adama is here with us, he wants to play for us, he works hard and he is very professional.
“I want to (keep him). If you look at the games we have played this season, he has started at least half of those, and when he didn’t start, he came off the bench to help the team.
“The most important thing is that it is not just about Adama, but every player, and if it is good for the club and good for the player than we have to find a different solution.
“But for now, if you ask me at this moment, I prefer to keep the four wingers that I have.”
Pressed on whether he expects Traore to still be a Wolves player when the transfer window closes at the end of the month, Lage said: “Yes, that is in my mind.”
