Lassina Chamste Soudine Franck Traoré

Lassina Traoré attacks space, checks runs beyond the line and links play for Shakhtar Donetsk as a front-focused striker. Traoré rose at Ajax in 2020, scoring in a landmark win and then moving to Shakhtar Donetsk in 2021. He thrives with high-intensity pressure. The turning point came with a Ukrainian Super Cup brace against Dynamo Kyiv after joining Shakhtar. He combines hold-up touch with one-touch layoffs and through balls, widening the attack from the centre. By 2026, Traoré had won three domestic league titles and developed as a complete forward who holds the ball under pressure. In international duty, Traoré represented Burkina Faso at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, scoring in the group phase.
