Wolverhampton Wanderers signed the speedy winger from Middlesbrough this summer.

Wolves defender Matt Doherty raved about the quality of new signing Adama Traore, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star, labelling the winger as ‘unplayable’.

Nuno Espirito Santo splashed out £18 million on the former Barcelona academy graduate, and many are tipping him to be a real hit at Molineux.

Wolves were quite simply brilliant in the Championship last season, but they have not rested on their laurels one little bit, and it would be no surprise to see them finish in the top half of the Premier League table this season.

Nuno made some really exciting additions this season, none more so than Adama, and Doherty could not speak highly enough of the 22-year-old.

The Wolves wing-back raved about the Spaniard’s quality, when speaking exclusively to the Express & Star, suggesting that he has not seen anything like his new teammate during his time in the game:

“We played against him last season and at times he’s unplayable – I’ve not seen that type of running with the ball, pace and power, from anyone. The recruitment’s been good, the club has brought in some very good players and I’m sure the manager will get us all to gel. Last season he did that with the new signings so it won’t be a problem.”

The speedy winger has always threatened to make the jump up to the next level, and under the guidance of Nuno at Molineux, he might just finally live up to his outstanding potential.
