Aston Villa boss Sherwood eager to cool Adama Traore hype

Aston Villa boss Tim Sherwood is keen to cool the hype around Adama Traore.

After paying close attention to him in training this week, the boss feels he still has a lot to learn about the English game before he is fully unleashed.

“We need to dampen down the expectations of this boy," he said.

“He knows he's a development project and I have seen a lot of hype surrounding him and I think it's unfair.

“He needs to be given a chance and the expectations of the club can't be put on his shoulders because he's a very young man."
