#2 Lacina Traore

Soccer - FA Cup - Fifth Round - Everton v Swansea - Goodison Park
Lacina Traore was nicknamed 'The Big Tree'

A dip in form has seen Traore play across six different European clubs with parent club Monaco preferring to send him on various loan spells. Traore is blessed with height and strength which he uses to hold the ball.

He still has a point to prove especially with Ivory Coast in need of someone to fill the void left by Didier Drogba. The 28-year-old Ivorian striker is 6 ft 8 (2.03m) tall.

He has been capped 13 times for his country and scored 81 goals in 236 career appearances. Traore has played in some of the biggest clubs in Europe. These include; 2017 French champions AS Monaco and Everton when he went on loan
