Wolves pen Boubacar Traoré to permanent long-term deal | OneFootball

Wolves have confirmed Boubacar Traoré will remain with the Premier League side after a clause was triggered in his contract on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old midfielder, who was on loan from Metz, will now be a permanent player on 1 July 2023 and signed a deal until 2027.

Traoré has made 12 appearances for the club in all competitions so far, registering one goal and one assist.

“Bouba was a player we had wanted for a while, and I took many trips over to France to watch him,” said Wolves’ sporting director Matt Hobbs.

“He was someone we looked at bringing into the club this time last year, and although it wasn’t possible then, we worked hard to bring him in during the summer.

“We felt his energy, his enthusiasm and pace from the middle of the pitch would be really important, but we also knew his ceiling was high. He was a young lad who had moved from Mali, he’d had limited coaching at Metz, and we knew the technical side of his game would improve once he joined us.

“We’ve already started seeing improvements in that area of his game.”
