Melbourne Victory is in discussions to bring Ivory Coast utility Adama Traore back to the club for the upcoming A-League season.
The Covert Agent can reveal the free agent 29-year-old, who won the Victory medal in 2014, is currently undergoing medical tests at the club as they decide whether to re-sign him.
Traore became a fan favourite at Melbourne Victory in a left-back role between 2012-14 after heading south following three seasons at the now-defunct Gold Coast United.
He is understood to have both an Ivorian and Australian passport so he will not be a regarded as a foreign signing if Victory choose to add him to their squad.
