Aston Villa central defender Ezri Konsa has raved about reported Leeds United target Adama Traore on the Premier League’s YouTube channel.

Konsa has said that the Wolverhampton Wanderers winger is a very hard player to play against, and believes that the former Villa man has improved his dribbling this season.

According to a report in Eurosport in February, Leeds are keen on signing the former Villa and Barcelona winger in the summer of 2021.

Sport has reported interest from Leeds, Liverpool and Manchester City in the 25-year-old Spain international.

Konsa said about Traore on the Premier League’s YouTube channel: “So big, so strong. One of the hardest players to ever get the ball off. Very fast, powerful. For me, I think he has improved a lot on his dribbling as well from last season and the season before.”

Encouraging for Leeds United fans

Traore is not having the best of seasons in terms of stats. The 25-year-old winger has scored just one goal and provided only one assist in 30 Premier League matches for Wolves this campaign, according to WhoScored.

However, the aforementioned comments and praise from Konsa, who is one of the better central defenders in the Premier League, should encourage the Leeds fans.

Traore is very quick, has dribbling skills, puts in good crosses, and is very strong, and he would make Marcelo Bielsa’s Leeds a better team.
