Wolves are happy with their deal for Metz midfielder Boubacar Traore on a season-long loan.

As part of the deal, Wolves hold an option to turn the move permanent next summer, which will also happen automatically should certain clauses be triggered.

Having impressed for Metz in Ligue 1 last season despite their relegation struggles, the 21-year-old makes the switch to the Premier League by agreeing a move to Molineux.

Primarily a defensive-minded central midfielder, Traore's energy and workrate came to the fore in Ligue 1, where his pressing and tackling stats were among some of the highest in Europe's top five leagues, while the youngster has also excelled when bringing the ball forwards.

Wolves technical director Scott Sellars said: “Our recruitment team have been monitoring Boubacar for some time and have been thoroughly impressed by his output in Ligue 1 over the past 12 months, his continued development as a young player and his consistent impact upon games.

“We are delighted to secure another one of our main targets and we look forward to welcoming him to Compton Park and Molineux, integrating him into the team and watching him continue his development in the Premier League."
