A look at Adama Traore's development: born in 1996, he bounced between Barcelona's B and A teams from 2013 to 2015, shining with the B team but making just one La Liga appearance.In the 2015/16 season, at the age of 19, he kicked off his career with a move to Premier League side Aston Villa.
After 10 appearances in one season at Villa, the team were relegated to the Championship and Traore moved to Middlesbrough. Despite Middlesbrough's eventual relegation, Traore made 27 appearances and was really noticed in the 17/18 season when he played 34 times in the Championship.
Traore was briefly partnered with Danish striker Braithwaite in the MiB front three in the 17/18 season. A year later, he was signed by Wolves and began to make a name for himself in the Premier League.
Traore has spent three and a half years with the Wolves so far in the 18/19 season as the team's rusher. the 26-year-old stands at 178cm but has an exaggeratedly muscular upper body, making him a difficult presence for opponents to limit.
In those 3.5 years, Traore played 123 games for the Wolves, scoring just 8 goals and assisting 14 times. Despite primarily serving as a counterattacking anchor, he had a distinctive shooting style that featured powerful shots.
Traore is ranked second in Europe behind Parisian Mbappe. his rushing speed has become top European.
Wolves rely on Traore's impact without the need for too much midfield organization, with the opposing half of the field in full charge of him on counter-attacks. His shot preparation moves are obvious and are dominated by powerful shots.
Barcelona took Traore on a half-season loan with a €35m buyout clause.Traore was willing to take a pay cut in the hope of returning to his parent club.
Wolves reject Tottenham offer due to player's own wishes. Wolves could be reconstructing their team play to make room for young players Neto, Neves, Trincao and others.
The Wolves have a great defense, but are low on goals. They may want to change their style of play and improve their offense, and to that end are considering selling Traore.
