Stoke City boss Mark Hughes is hoping to make a move for Barcelona teenager Adama Traore.
The Mirror suggests that Hughes is hoping to use his links with the Spanish giants in order to lure the 18-year old winger to the Britannia Stadium in January.
Traore was a target for Stoke during the recent summer transfer window and could be heading to Staffordshire on loan in the winter if Barca make him available.
Hughes has previously done successful business with the Catalan giants to sign Marc Muniesa and Bojan Krkic and is now hoping to help develop the Spanish-born Traore who is eligible to represent Mali at international level.
