‘Adama Traore doesn’t even run at full pace – he’s taking the p*ss’ - Christie

The former Barcelona youngster is so quick that he doesn't even bother running flat out, according to former team-mate Cyrus Christie

Wolves player Adama Traore has been branded the quickest man in world football by former team-mate Cyrus Christie, who claims that the former Barcelona youngster does not even run at full speed.

The pair played together at Middlesbrough for a spell between the summer of 2017 and January 2018, when Christie was sold to Derby and subsequently Fulham.

Meanwhile, Traore’s star has continued to ascend, with the winger taking a starring role at Wolves, where he has scored four times and set up seven more in 28 Premier League appearances this season.
