Adama Traoré (footballer, born 1996)

He scored his first goal for the team and in the Premier League on 1 September – in his 40th appearance in the competition – in a 1–0 win away to West Ham United.

His first start occurred on 27 October, in a 0–1 away defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion.

Adama Traoré Diarra (born 25 January 1996) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right winger for club Fulham and the Spain national team.

Traoré began his career with Barcelona, appearing mainly for the reserves.

He joined Barcelona's youth setup in 2004 at the age of eight, after a brief period with neighbouring L'Hospitalet.

In 2013 he was promoted to the B-team, and made his debut on 6 October in a 0–1 away defeat against Ponferradina in the Segunda División championship.

On 9 November 2013, Traoré came on as a half-time substitute but was sent off for conceding a penalty in a 0–3 loss to Real Jaén at the Mini Estadi.

He scored his first official goal for Barcelona's first team on 16 December 2014, playing 16 minutes and contributing in an 8–1 home victory over SD Huesca in the 2014–15 Copa del Rey.

On 17 February 2014, the Malian Football Federation reported that Traoré and his older brother Moha had decided to represent Mali at senior level.

In 2015, he signed for Aston Villa and a year later Middlesbrough, before joining Wolverhampton Wanderers in August 2018.

He played exactly 200 games for Wolves, scoring 14 times, and was loaned back to Barcelona in 2022 before joining Fulham a year later.

On 14 August 2015, Traoré joined Premier League club Aston Villa on a five-year deal for a reported £7 million (€10 million) that could rise to €12 million, with Barcelona inserting a three-year buy-back clause in his contract.

He made his debut eight days later against Crystal Palace, contributing to a lone own goal as Villa were defeated 2-1.

He scored his first goal three days later, the team's first of a 5–3 home win over Notts County in the second round of the League Cup.

However, in an interview with BBC Sport in October 2015, the former stated that he was still considering his international options.

Traoré came on as a second-half substitute for a bottom-of-the-table Villa side away to relegation rivals Sunderland on 2 January 2016, and assisted compatriot Carles Gil's equaliser – he was later substituted himself, and Sunderland won 3–1.

Following that game, he was dropped from the team due to ill discipline, as Villa ended the season relegated, in last place, on 17 points.

On 31 August 2016, Traoré signed a four-year contract with Middlesbrough and Albert Adomah moved in the opposite direction; the fees were undisclosed.

He made his debut on 10 September 2016 in a 1–2 home loss to Crystal Palace, replacing Cristhian Stuani for the final nine minutes; during his first season, he took part in 31 matches without scoring.

Two weeks later, he played his first La Liga game at the age of 17, replacing Neymar late on in the 4–0 home win over Granada; he made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League on 26 November, coming on for Cesc Fàbregas in the 82nd minute of a 1–2 defeat away to Ajax in the group stage.

Traoré also featured for Barcelona's under-19 side in the inaugural edition of the UEFA Youth League, playing five games and scoring twice as they won the trophy.

Traoré played well in 2017–18, first under Garry Monk and then Tony Pulis, with his pace sometimes causing several problems for opposition defenders, including an impressive performance against Leeds United on 2 March 2018 in a 3–0 win.

He totalled five goals and ten assists during the campaign as his team reached the play-offs in the Championship, where they were knocked out by his former side Aston Villa; he won Middlesbrough's Fans' Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Players' Player of the Year awards.

On 8 August 2018, Traoré joined newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee in the region of £18 million.

On 6 October 2019, in his 50th competitive appearance for Wolves, Traoré scored both goals in a 2–0 away victory against reigning champions Manchester City.

He scored his first goal in a European competition as Wolves drew 3–3 away to Braga in the UEFA Europa League group stage on 28 November.

Traoré scored his debut Molineux goal for the club in a 1–2 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League on 15 December 2019.

Traoré has represented Spain internationally at both youth and senior levels, making his senior debut in 2020 and being chosen for UEFA Euro 2020.

Traoré was born in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia, to Malian parents.

He won the PFA Player of the Month award for January 2020 with 45 percent of fan votes.

Traoré's first goal for Wolves in the 2020–21 season came in their 1–0 home victory over Crystal Palace in a FA Cup third-round game on 8 January 2021.

He marked his 100th Premier League appearance for Wolves with his tenth goal for the club in a 2–1 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion at Molineux on 9 May 2021.

He scored his debut goal of the 2021–22 season on 15 January 2022, in a 3–1 Premier League victory over Southampton at Molineux.

On 29 January 2022, Traoré joined Barcelona on loan for the rest of the season, with the option of a permanent deal possible.

As Barcelona did not take up the option, he returned to Wolves at the season's end.

Traoré's first start for Wolves in the 2022–23 season after his loan at Barcelona in the second-half of the 2021–22 season came in a 2–1 victory over Preston North End at Molineux in the EFL Cup on 23 August 2022, in which he scored Wolves's second.

He scored his 10th Premier League goal (and 14th goal for Wolves in total) on 4 March 2023, ensuring a 1–0 home win against Tottenham Hotspur.

On 3 June 2023, Wolves announced Traore would leave at the end of his contract.

On 12 August 2023, Traoré joined fellow Premier League club Fulham on a free transfer.

He signed a two-year deal with the option of a third.
