Bénie Adama Traoré

Bénie Adama Traoré of FC Basel 1893 attacks space, makes runs beyond the line and threatens the back post with precise late movements. Traoré's role has shifted from winger to a versatile attacker who links play with one-touch lay-offs and incisive through-balls. He keeps pace with quick movements. He broke through at BK Häcken (2021–2023), scoring 12 goals in 14 matches in 2023, and helped them to a league title in 2022. In 2023 he moved to Sheffield United, debuting against Crystal Palace, before a 2024 loan spell at Nantes. Traoré joined Basel on a four-year deal in 2024 and then contributed 13 goals and 8 assists in the 2024–25 Swiss season, winning the league. Internationally, Traoré has been consistently called up for Côte d'Ivoire, featuring in AFCON qualification matches. As a forward, Traoré presses high, accelerates through space and finishes moves, keeping Basel's attacking action unpredictable.
