#4 Adama Traore is one to watch out for

Adama Traore
Adama Traore was a nightmare for Hector Bellerin

When Adama Traore moved to Aston Villa from Barcelona at the start of last season, a lot of expected from the La Masia graduate. While his former team were relegated to the Championship at the end of last season, Traore found a new home in Aitor Karanka’s Middlesbrough and in only his first start for Boro he stole the show, well almost.

Two jinxing runs from the 20-year-old resulted in huge chances for his side, the first culminated when Traore’s shot from the right was saved by Cech while the second resulted in an excellent through ball to Negredo in the 87th minute and the Spaniard should have buried it but instead was denied by an excellent recovery tackle by Laurent Koscielny.

Traore was a constant threat on the left-hand side and got the better of Hector Bellerin with his directness and speed.on numerous occasions and is one who is definitely one to watch out for in the near future.
