The Wolverhampton Wanderers ace is one of the most highly rated youngsters in the game.
Wolves ace Adama Traore spoke exclusively to the Express & Star about his start to life in England, and shared how he has learnt a lot from the manner in which Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo approach the game.
The speedy winger joined Wolves from Middlesbrough in the summer, for a fee believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £18 million, but he is yet to showcase what he is truly capable of.
Traore began his career at Barcelona, before moving to Aston Villa in the summer of 2015.
At just 22, the Spaniard still has plenty of years left ahead of him in the game, and Wolves fans will be hoping to see his undoubted talent sooner rather than later.
The Wolves ace spoke exclusively to the Express & Star, and shared how the world’s two best players have taught him so much during his fledgling career:
“I think back to the players I saw every day. Messi, we used to see him at training and I saw how professional he is and how hard he works. I spoke with a few people training with Real Madrid and they said the same about Cristiano Ronaldo – he’s the first one at training and the last one to leave. These guys taught us about relationships, family and the experience as to how they got there and about dealing with pressure from a young age. I played for Barcelona aged 17. Cristiano and Messi, they don’t read the papers, because they are focused on the objective. This is why I appreciate so much those two players.”
Next up for Wolves is a home clash with Tottenham tomorrow, and Adama will be hoping for another chance to impress.
