What makes our future signing Adama Traore so special?
Let's list all of his exceptional stats recorded in the past few seasons.
1. Dribbles
Adama Traore is the player with the best dribble success rate in the 2021/22 Premier League season – and we're speaking about a player who has made 80+ dribbles this term!
December 2021 stat
1. Adama Traore - 82.5%
2. Kyle Walker-Peters - 77.4%
3. Moussa Sissoko - 76.7%
The forward dribbled past 173 players in the 2020/21 season – he was second to none in this stat.
2. Progressive carries
Possessing quality dribbling means being great in terms of progressing with the ball forward.
Traore completed 306 progressive carries in the 2020/21 season and was the best in the league in this respect.
3. Fouls drawn
Adama is not the best player in this stat but he's always among the greatest here.
The winger was 4th in the Premier League in 2019/20 (101 fouls drawn) and 2nd in 2020/21 (104 fouls drawn).
4. Crosses
Adama crosses the ball a lot! This is going to be important if Xavi sticks to keeping Luuk de Jong in the starting eleven.
Traore completed 32 crosses into the penalty area in the 2019/20 season. Again, this was the best result in the Premier League.
