Sheffield Utd boss Heckingbottom: We'll get exciting moments from Traore

Sheffield United boss Paul Heckingbottom has urged patience with Benie Traore.

The young striker arrived this week from BK Hacken.

“I'm pleased," Heckingbottom said of his newest recruit. “I think we'll see exciting moments from him.

“He's got really good pace and he's sharp, electric. If you watch his highlights, you'd be impressed but again, we have to work with him. He's a work in progress. He's young and hungry and wants to do well, we've bought a player with potential. With exciting moments in him and who we want to work with.

“We're pleased to get him. He's had to go back to Sweden to get the process started with his visa but it was important that we got him over here to meet everyone and make a fuss of him, so he can start to feel a part of it. We're just looking forward to getting back to Shirecliffe and working with him."
