Traoré played 20 matches for Fulham this season, without scoring any goals. The player has extensive experience in England after spells with Aston Villa, Middlesbrough, and Wolves, and was also developed at Barcelona. With 262 Premier League appearances and eight call-ups for the Spanish national team, the player stated that he is motivated to “help as much as possible” in the fight to stay up. “Everything starts with belief. I believe we will achieve our goals,” he said.

Nuno celebrated the reunion with the forward and highlighted his importance to the team. “Adama knows the league like few others and will help us a lot. He brings energy, determination, and a different option in attack,” said the coach, pleased with the January reinforcement package.

The victories over Tottenham and Sunderland have given West Ham a boost, as they are currently third from bottom in the table. The club has also signed Pablo Felipe and Taty Castellanos in this transfer window and is trying to make final adjustments before the window closes on Monday.
