It makes complete sense for everyone concerned that Traore finds a new home this summer, even though he has been hailed as ‘unbelievable’ by Jack Grealish.

Lage clearly doesn’t rate him highly, as the manager would have kept hold of him otherwise, and a tally of 11 goals and 18 assists in 154 appearances simply isn’t productive enough for an attacking player, despite all the garlands he earns for his pace and power.
