The Spain winger will return to Camp Nou on loan until the end of the season

Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore's move to Barcelona is close to being announced after all parties involved reached an agreement on Thursday. 

That allowed the Spain international to undergo a medical at the Barcelona Hospital on Friday ahead of the official announcement. 

The former Barça player returns to what was his home for over 10 years as a youngster before he left for Aston Villa in 2015. 

Adama arrives initially on loan until the end of the season with an option for the deal to be made permanent. 

Barça coach Xavi Hernandez wanted to strengthen the team in attack already but even more so after the injury to Ansu Fati. 

With Ferran Torres and now Adama, Barça have done just that in January as they fight for a place in the top four and the Europa League. 

With a deal for Adama in place, Barça are now working on moves for Morata and a left-back, either Tagliafico or Grimaldo, but first need to make salary space.
