Barcelona-produced Adama Traoré has left Fulham to join West Ham United to help their bid to avoid relegation.
He joined them for a reported €2.3m loan fee for the last six months of the season.
In this Adama Traoré scout report, we will assess what he can offer West Ham, whether he is a strong addition to the squad to help them out of the bottom three, and, once the loan ends, which potential clubs could benefit from a player of his calibre.
Adama Traoré Stats
Adama Traoré has never been regarded as a high-scoring, high-assist player.
So far in the 2025/2026 season, he has no goals or assists in the Premier League, and in the 2024/2025 season, he managed two goals and seven assists in 36 appearances.
Part of this can be attributed to not playing for top teams, but part of it is also his playing style, which we will examine below.
He averaged 1.98 shots per 90 minutes in the 2024/2025 season in the EPL, and for two goals to be the outcome, he is not a high-output player.
Adama Traoré Final Third Actions
Marco Silva let Adama Traoré have more freedom on the ball than previous clubs, allowing him to invert to where he could closely make a dangerous threat going forward.
This certainly was not a consistent case of him playing in behind like this, but it did show his passing range when playing with a No. 9 who likes to run in behind.
Where you would consistently see him is outside the edge of the box, as shown below, trying to play a cross or cut it across the pitch.
His crosses are very dangerous, mostly due to their speed.
