Boubacar Traoré, a Central Midfielder for the Wolverhampton Wanderers, is a promising young talent at just 21 years of age. His primary strengths lie in ball recovery, indicative of his proactive role in regaining the ball, and decent ball retention which further adds to his overall midfield control. However, his defensive abilities could use some improvement, seen especially in his one-on-one defending and his penalty area defending.
When it comes to chance creation or being a goal threat, he appears to be relatively passive, often preferring to function as a conduit for gameplay rather than an executor. Moreover, his low assists and Expected Assists (xA) point out to his limited involvement in the team's offensive efforts. Despite this passive offensive approach, Traoré maintains a progressive carrying element to his play, bringing the ball forward when in possession, evidenced by his above average touches percentile.
But it's worth noting that he does have less than stellar performance in his winning percentage of aerial duels and general duels suggesting room for growth in his physical and competitive aspect of the game. His age and already solid core abilities in midfield, however, hint at a high ceiling for further development, with the latter seasons potentially seeing a more refined and well-rounded player, given the right guidance and opportunities.
