# Liverpool considering summer swoop for Traore

Liverpool are considering a summer swoop for former Chelsea man Bertrand Traore, according to reports.

[The Daily Mail claims](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-7053439/A-winger-like-Robben-former-Chelsea-forward-attackers-Klopp-bring-Liverpool.html) that the winger is one of several names on Liverpool’s radar ahead of the summer transfer window.

They state that the club had scouts watching Lyon’s 3-0 win over Marseille earlier this month, with Traore the man in their sights.

Chelsea do have a buy-back clause for Traore, so any move for the player could spark [some interest](https://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/revealed-nathan-ake-and-bertrand-traores-deals-include-buy/6862llx469zg1jboqqnt76wgt) from London.

Failing that, the Blues also hold a sell-on clause and will profit from any move that sees the player leave Lyon.

Everton are also [believed](https://tbrfootball.com/liverpool-everton-bertrand-traore/) to be monitoring Traore, who is valued at £40m by the French side.

Traore was always highly rated at Chelsea but has flourished after leaving Stamford Bridge.

The regular game time in Ligue 1 has helped the Burkina Faso international form a great relationship with Memphis Depay, another Liverpool-linked player, in the Lyon attack.
