Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore has told The Sun that he wants to remain at the club and guide them to promotion to the Premier League.

Traore has been linked with a move to Premier League club West Ham United in the summer transfer window, with The Northern Echo recently reporting of the London outfit’s interest in the 21-year-old winger.

The former Barcelona youngster is a very talented and promising young winger who is quite raw and has a lot of pace.

The Spaniard has been on the books of Boro since the summer of 2016 when he joined from Aston Villa.

Traore has stated that he wants to carry on playing for Boro and wants to help the club get promoted to the Premier League.

“I want to be back in the Premier League and be the best player that I can be,” Traore told The Scottish Sun. “I work hard on this every day.

“The manager has worked and spoken with me every day on the defensive shape and all the team together to be stronger. So I want to say thank you to the gaffer because he is helping me with my defensive way.”

One can understand West Ham’s (reported) interest in Traore, but perhaps it would be best if manager David Moyes look at an alternative.

While it is clear that the Spanish winger is hugely talented, he could not do much of note in the Premier League.
