Adama Traoré — Wolves’ Explosive Winger Who is Ready For The Next Step

Adama Traoré is one of the better players in the Premier League and has been for quite some time. With his combination of breakneck pace, excellent crossing, ferocious strength, and uncanny ability to exploit space whilst in possession, he has been a thorn in the side of opposing defenses for years now.

One might ask, “How? He has no goals and no assists so far in the league this season,” or “Why? He’s one-dimensional with all pace and no end product. What has he done to be considered one of England’s best footballers?” To an extent, these concerns surrounding Traoré are valid.

Football games are won by scoring and assisting (to an extent) and Adama this season is struggling on both ends. He has zero goals and zero assists in 10 Premier League appearances so far this campaign, and no direct goal contributions in two Carabao Cup games.

So, just from a surface-level assessment of those numbers, someone could adjudge that Traoré is a non-factor for Wolves. However, this is the complete opposite of the truth.
