Bertrand Isidore Traoré

Bertrand Isidore Traoré is a right winger who attacks space, drifts into channels, and times runs to get shots off quickly, with Traoré cutting inside on his left foot to threaten the back post. Traoré broke into Chelsea’s fold in 2015–16 after a loan spell at Vitesse, earning minutes and a debut against Liverpool. Traoré moves to Ajax on loan, where he scores 13 goals in 39 games and helps push the team toward a European final. Traoré then shifts to Lyon in 2017, contributing 21 goals across three seasons and sharpening his off-ball movement. Traoré also captains Burkina Faso, accumulating 87 caps and leadership on the international stage. Traoré returns to the Premier League with Aston Villa and Sunderland from 2020 onward, remaining a roaming, advanced playmaker with a flair for quick combinations. Traoré’s game is built on pressing high and linking play, driving at defenders and staying active between lines. He finishes moves when space opens and keeps the tempo high for his teams.
