Scout report

Experienced headCentre-forward

B. Traoré is a 31-year-old centre-forward at Wolves, rated 36.4 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 192nd of 272 on scout potential in the Championship. A seasoned veteran, he has been a rotation option this season (37.3% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Traoré.

Judged on this season alone, Traoré graded 11 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 19th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship, on 1 goal and 0 assists in 12 appearances (0.141 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 36 → 5). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 36, 15th of 22 of the 22 centre-forwards in the Championship. At 31 Traoré is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 7.5 reflects that trajectory.

1 goal in 12 appearances (0.08 per game) — light end product the role wants to see climb.

Strengths

  • Pedigree. Performing in a top-tier setting (team strength 96.8/100).

Watch points

  • Game time. Only 37.3% of available minutes — needs a settled run to prove the level.
  • Output. 0.14 contributions per 90 is light for an attacking role — end product needs to climb.
  • Age curve. At 31, both level and resale value are on the downslope.
  • Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.

Outlook

With a Rating of 36.4, Traoré carries the 15th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Championship of 22 — though on just 12 appearances this season, so the standing rests on a small sample. In the final third he profiles as a work-in-progress on end product (0.14 goal contributions per 90). Veteran phase — a short-term, lower-fee proposition as both level and value decline (0.9× and falling).
