The Wolverhampton Wanderers ace is an incredibly exciting player.

Conor Coady absolutely raved about the quality of Adama Traore, when speaking to reporters, suggesting that he is the type of player who gets the fans on the edge of their seats every time he plays, as quoted by the Express & Star.

Traore, 23, joined Wolves from Middlesbrough in the summer of 2018 for around £18 million, according to BBC Sport, but he hasn’t quite lived up to expectations at Molineux.

He has managed just one goal and four assists in 40 appearances for Wolves, and that is quite simply not good enough for someone with his undoubted talent.

That didn’t stop Coady from praising him to the hilt, however.

When speaking to reporters, the Wolves skipper suggested that Traore is the kind of player who excites both the fans and his teammates, as quoted by the Express & Star:

“Every time he plays he is exciting and gets people on the edge of their seats. You heard the crowd as soon as the ball goes to him and when he turns around to play it back because that is what he has to do sometimes but the crowd get a little disappointed. He is exciting for us as players. He benefits from listening and learning. He is a fantastic lad who wants to learn everyday and be the best he can be. He is a fit boy, he is a tank.”

In fairness to Traore, he has often been used as a right wing-back, where there is more emphasis on him to defend.

And maybe if he is utilised in a more attacking role this season, he might finally start to excel for Wolves.
