Fulham confirm the signing of former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore on a free transfer.

Fulham have signed former Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Adama Traore on a free transfer.

The Spaniard, who left Wolves at the end of last season, has put pen to paper on a two-year deal, which includes an option for Fulham to extend by a further 12 months.

Traore will link up with his former Wolves teammate Raul Jimenez, who completed a move to Marco Silva's side earlier this summer.

"It's a nice opportunity for me," Traore told FFCtv. "Another chapter. I like the club, I also have information from Raul, who seems to love the club. I'm excited and hungry to give 100 per cent here."

After rising through the youth ranks at Barcelona, Traore went on to play for Aston Villa and Middlesbrough before joining Wolves in 2018.

The 27-year-old also returned to Barcelona for a brief loan spell in the 2021-22 campaign, but the Catalan giants opted against signing him on a permanent basis.

Traore, who has earned eight caps for Spain, made 194 competitive appearances for Wolves, registering 20 goals and 14 assists.

Commenting on Traore's arrival, Fulham vice-chairman Tony Khan said: "I'm thrilled to welcome Adama Traore to Fulham Football Club. He's an explosive and powerful winger with great pace, and he has tremendous experience in the Premier League.

"He's a player with whom we are very familiar, and he's been on the opposing side of our team on numerous occasions; I believe that he'll be a great addition to Marco's squad."

Fulham kicked off the Premier League season with a 1-0 win over Everton on Saturday after Bobby De Cordova-Reid came off the bench to score a 73rd-minute winner.

Traore could potentially be involved when Fulham face West London rivals Brentford at Craven Cottage next weekend.
