Premier League Transfers: 10 Championship Players Teams Should Buy
6. Adama Traoré (Middlesbrough)
Former Barcelona youngster Adama Traoré has been a frustrating player for football fans to follow over the years. Clearly blessed with bags of talent, the Spaniard spent his early months in England struggling to really live up to his potential and channel his abilities in a way that truly benefited his team.
Often criticised for being too selfish, Traoré has since learnt to become more of a team player during his spell with Middlesbrough and has been compared with the game's greatest players in the past. Last season, he did justice to those comparisons, ending the year with 10 assists and 5 goals, becoming a fan favourite and earning some well-deserved individual awards in the process.
Finally, something seems to have clicked for Traoré and he was desperately eager to help his side win the playoffs and get into the Premier League. They couldn't quite pull it off, but the 22-year-old seems ready for another stab at the top flight. With lightning speed and stunning dribbling skills, he could grow into a world beater over the next few years.
