Adama Traore (Middlesbrough)
The 21-year old former Barcelona academy graduate may not have had the best of the seasons with Middlesbrough, but his talent and potential are well known. Traore finished the campaign with just one assist from 27 league games, but on quite a number of occasions, he displayed that he can prove to be a handful to the opposition defence.
Burnley aren’t the most dynamic outfits in the final third and adding someone like Traore will provide them with something different. His ability to take on and beat his man at pace, his directness in the final third, the way he stretches the opposition or cut inside from the wide areas provide the Clarets with an alternate dimension to their attack. He may not be proven yet, but the quality is definitely there and it is a risk that could earn huge dividends to Burnley should they go ahead with it.
