Scout report
B. Traoré is a 30-year-old centre-forward at Sunderland, rated 41.9 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 326th of 376 on scout potential in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been a rotation option this season (35.4% of available minutes). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Traoré.
Judged on this season alone, Traoré graded 10 — a workmanlike campaign that ranks 43rd of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League, 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 → 10). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has drifted down, peaking in 2020/21.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 42, 40th of 44 of the 44 centre-forwards in the Premier League. At 30 Traoré is into the veteran stage, where the age curve weighs on the projection, and a market index of 25.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Traoré missed 18 games through injury (knee, international duty, unknown) out of roughly 3 this season. The 12 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2020/21 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
Output in context · Sunderland finished 7th of 20 · a mid-table side
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 35.4% 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.
- Level. Rates below a nailed-on top-tier starter on our model.
Outlook
With a Rating of 41.9, Traoré carries the 40th-highest potential of the centre-forwards in the Premier League of 44 — 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). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1× now → 0.7× projected in three years).
