3 Reasons Why This Quick Dribbler Will Be A Perfect January Addition For Chelsea

Adama Traore's career has taken him from Barcelona to Middlesbrough via Aston Villa

Antonio Conte’s Chelsea are currently at the top of the Premier League table this season, showing some serious consistency under the new manager. The Italian at the helm of the Bridge will be happy with his team’s performances but is looking to add a few players to the squad this January and the latest name linked with the Blues is Middlesbrough winger Adama Traore. The 20-year old is a product of the La Masia academy in Catalonia and also has an appearance for the Barcelona senior side in the two years he was at the Camp Nou. However, he was sold off to Aston Villa a couple of years ago and then moved on to Middlesbrough where he finally is showing some form.

Capable of playing deep or up ahead on the left-flank, the young winger is a potential superstar but is still learning the trade. However, Conte is convinced that he can improve the squad and is looking to add him as a cover for first choice wing-back Victor Moses. Though not a wing-back by trait, Traore is more than capable of playing in that position and here are three reasons why he will be an able deputy for Victor Moses this season:

His attributes:

The 20-year old is one of the most exciting players in the league and is someone who can make things happen from nowhere. Antonio Conte is impressed by the performances put in by Moses this season and Traore is a player with similar attributes. He is quick, loves to dribble and is commanding on the ball. He loves to take on his player to go beyond the defenses and is adept and accurate with his crosses in the final third. His attacking contribution might reduce as a wing-back but he will surely be as effective as Victor Moses in Conte’s system.
