Hughes is going Potty for Blues’ star Traore

- DARREN WITCOOP

BERTRAND TRAORE is on Stoke’s wish list as Mark Hughes weighs up a summer move for the Chelsea striker.

The Potters boss sent spies to watch Traore, 21, (above) star for Ajax in last Thursday’s Europa League semi-final. The on-loan Burkino Faso frontman scored twice in the match against Lyon.

Traore is not in Antonio Conte’s plans and Hughes could swoop as he looks to freshen up his attack. WEST HAM are ready to revive their interest in AC Milan striker Carlos Bacca (below) this summer. The Colombia star, 30, looked set for the Hammers last year, but the £25million deal broke down. Arsenal and Chelsea are also keen.
