Adama Traoré

Adama Traoré is a graduate of the Barcelona youth setup at La Masia that has produced players like Piqué, Alba, Iniesta, Messi, Fabregas and many more.

At 19 years old Adama has played two full seasons of professional football largely with Barcelona B. He scored 8 times in 68 appearances for the B team and he made 4 appearances for for Barcelona scoring 1 goal in the Spanish Cup.

Adama is not renowned for prolific scoring but he is excellent at creating chances. He's a winger that hugs the touchline and drives at full backs with speed, cutting inside using skill and drops of the shoulder to leave defenders in his rear view.

On 14 August 2015 Aston Villa signed the Spaniard on a five year deal for €10 million. However, Barcelona weren't willing to part ways with him completely yet and they inserted a buy- back clause in his contract which means Barcelona have the option to take him back after 3 years.

Villa fans should be excited about seeing Adama in the future. Villa manager Tim Sherwood said he is a dynamic player and there are not many like him in the Premier League.

So far he has come on as a substitute twice for the Midlands team and scored in their League Cup tie against Notts County.
