He has been described as “Undefendable” due to his power and pace
Traore has a number of keen admirers; none more so than Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp, who described the Spaniard as “undefendable” when assessing the player’s ability in possession.
The wide man’s power and pace can be best looked at in statistics. Over the last year he has completed, on average, 5.28 dribbles per 90 minutes: that is in the top 1% of all players in the top five European leagues. He has also averaged 9.96 progressive carries per 90, which puts him in the top 4%.
