Middlesbrough manager Tony Pulis has admitted to The Northern Echo that the club are missing Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore.

Traore joined Premier League club Wolves from Championship side Middlesbrough in the summer transfer window for a transfer fee reported by BBC Sport to be worth £18 million.

The 22-year-old winger moved to Boro from Aston Villa in the summer of 2016 and was quite successful during his spell at the Riverside Stadium.

During the 2016-17 campaign, the Spaniard made 16 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Championship for Boro, while last season, the youngster scored five goals and provided 10 assists in 2427 minutes of league football for Middlesbrough, according to WhoScored.

Boro manager Pulis has admitted that the Championship club are missing Traore.

Pulis told The Northern Echo: “We have lost that a little with Adama going. If you look at when I came here last year, we played him all the time.

“Adama gave us that threat and it worried teams. I don’t think we have that electric pace, someone we can give it to.”

Wolverhampton Wanderers spell

Traore has made two starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Premier League for Wolves so far this season, scoring one goal in the process, according to WhoScored.

The Spaniard is playing well for Nuno’s side at the moment, and his pace and tricks do make him a handful for opposition defenders.
