Traore is a phenomenon and might be fastest ever footballer - Gil

Adama Traore is the fastest man in football and can be "almost unstoppable" if he sharpens up minor imperfections, according to former team-mate Carles Gil.

Former Barcelona youngster Traore is tearing up the Premier League with Wolves after first finding his feet in English football with Aston Villa, where he and Gil played together and became friends.

Traore, now 24, has been linked with the likes of Premier League champions-elect Liverpool, a mark of his rapid progress since joining Wolves in 2018 from Middlesbrough, his second English club.
