WHY DIDNT ADAMA TRAORE PLAY FOR BARCELONA

His opponents knew exactly how to stop him' - Why Adama Traore didn't make the grade at Barcelona.

The Wolves winger has come a long way since coming through at La Masia, and his former youth coach has been impressed by his development

Adama Traore was too predictable during his days at Barcelona and has now added an impressive tactical nous to his game to help him thrive in Premier League, according to his former youth coach.

Traore developed at Barca's renowned La Masia academy, where his pace and strength caught the eye, before he moved to English football with Aston Villa after making just four senior appearances for the Catalans.

The winger's power meant he made an instant impact in the Premier League, although an apparent lack of tactical awareness or end product meant he was often a frustrating watch for fans and managers.
