Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka says Adama Traore will become "an amazing player" once he learns the art of teamwork.

Karanka handed Traore his first Premier League start at Arsenal and was rewarded with a man-of-the-match performance as the 20-year-old's pace threatened to bring a shock win.

"He has massive potential. He needs to learn tactically but he's ready to learn.

"I said before the Arsenal game that Adama can bring us the pace we didn't have. In the Premier League you need players like him.

"It's more about him understanding that he's come into a really organised team. He needs to understand everything. When he does he will be an amazing player."
