Fulham sign Traore on free transfer

Fulham have signed Adama Traore on a free transfer. 

Traore joins Fulham on a two-year deal, with the club having an option of a further 12 months, after leaving Wolverhampton Wanderers at the end of his contract this summer. 

He is Fulham's third signing of the summer transfer window, after defender Calvin Bassey from Ajax and forward Raul Jimenez, a former team-mate of Traore's at Wolves. 

"It’s a nice opportunity for me," Traore told the club's official website. "Another chapter. I like the Club, I also have information from Raúl [Jimenéz], who seems to love the club.

"I’m excited and hungry to give 100 per cent here."

Traore has made 194 Premier League appearances, scoring 10 goals and providing 15 assists. 

The 27-year-old played for Aston Villa and Middlesbrough but made a name for himself at Wolves as one of the Premier League's most dangerous wingers.

Since 2018/19, when he signed for Wolves, he has completed 542 dribbles, more than any other player. 

He spent time last year on loan at Barcelona and has been capped eight times by the Spain national side.

Most successful dribbles since 2018/19

Traore's transfer comes after Fulham won their 2023/24 Premier League opener 1-0 at Everton on Saturday. Their next match is at home to Brentford on Saturday.
