Wolverhampton Wanderers enjoyed a 2-1 win over Norwich City on Saturday and Adama Traore was one of many players lauded for his performance. The 23-year-old was a constant thorn in the Norwich side, frequently taking his opponent on and creating numerous chances over the 90 minutes.

In addition to his attacking threat, Traore also turned over possession a number of times too and was a standout performer on the day. The Spaniard has been sensational for Wolves all season and was once again the subject of praise from supporters.

Against Norwich, Traore made 57 touches, won two aerial duels, created four chances, had three shots, completed 76.7% of his 30 passes, whipped in four crosses, made three tackles, drew two fouls and made seven successful dribbles.

The 23-year-old has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season, scoring and creating 10 goals. He’s been indispensable under Nuno Espirito Santo and continues to repay his manager’s faith on the pitch.

Week after week, Traore creates more chances, puts more balls into the box and makes more dribbles than any of his teammates. He’s having a fantastic season at Molineux and has played his part in Wolves sitting sixth in the Premier League table after 18 games.
