West Ham are facing a serious stumbling block in the way of a potential transfer for Fulham\u2019s Adama Traore.<\/strong><\/p>\n Nuno Espirito Santo is keen on a reunion with Traore<\/a> after their successful time together at Wolves.<\/p>\n West Ham need extra quality in attack<\/a>, and given Jarrod Bowen\u2019s ability to play as a striker, Nuno<\/a> may see Traore as an option at right wing.<\/p>\n Since the Spaniard joined Fulham, Traore<\/a> hasn\u2019t seen much game time for the Cottagers, but that could be about to change.<\/p>\n West Ham are fighting for survival in the Premier League<\/a>, and wins have been hard to come by at the London Stadium this season.<\/p>\n Nuno has won just two matches in the league for the Hammers, but a main reason for that is due to a lack of firepower at the head coach\u2019s disposal.<\/p>\n If Traore were to become a Hammer in January, he would certainly add something new to Nuno\u2019s forward line.<\/p>\n Adama Traore\u2019s stats for Wolves during the 2019-20 season under Nuno:<\/strong><\/p>\n Fulham<\/a> beat Nottingham Forest 1-0 on Monday at Craven Cottage, with Traore starting on Marco Silva\u2019s bench.<\/p>\n However, the Fulham boss was forced into a late change after Harry Wilson<\/a> injured himself when trying to win the ball back from Nico Williams.<\/p>\n Wilson tried to continue playing but was seen holding his knee in pain as he was substituted minutes later, and guess who his replacement was? Traore.<\/p>\n What has Marco Silva said on Wilson\u2019s injury?<\/p>\n Knee injuries are always the most worrying types of problems that players can get, and it\u2019s a big blow for Fulham, as Wilson has been in fine form of late.<\/p>\n But it\u2019s possibly even more of a trouble for West Ham<\/a>, because it means that Fulham may now be more inclined to keep Traore, who is Wilson\u2019s natural replacement, as seen on Monday.<\/p>\n Fulham boss Silva said after the match, as quoted by West London Sport<\/a>: \u201cWilson looks like he\u2019s going to be okay\u201d. <\/p>\n However, given the rough nature of the winter period, the Cottagers will surely need to keep hold of Traore, just in case.<\/p>\n If anything, it\u2019s a wake-up call for Fulham in that squad rotation is going to be needed over the next few weeks, which may not help the Hammers in their pursuit of Traore.<\/p>\n Enjoyed this article?<\/strong> Stay connected with all the latest West Ham United news, updates, and behind-the-scenes content by following us on our new Instagram account \u2013 @westhamzone247<\/a><\/p>\n ![\"Adama](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Adama-Traore-Fulham-1024x683.jpg\")
