Alain Traoré Attracts Interest from England Despite Injury Woes
In a surprising development, Alain Traoré could be on his way to England during the upcoming transfer window. Despite struggling with injuries this season and featuring in only three matches for Lorient, the Burkinabe international has caught the attention of two English clubs.
According to the Daily Star, West Bromwich Albion (Premier League) and Bolton Wanderers (Championship) are both considering bringing in the talented attacking midfielder, either on loan or via a permanent transfer. However, the financial terms expected by Lorient, where Traoré is under contract until 2016, have yet to be disclosed.
Traoré, a key figure for Burkina Faso during their 2013 AFCON campaign, is currently in recovery and remains hopeful of participating in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations, despite missing the qualifiers due to his injury.
Should a move materialize, it would mark a fresh opportunity for Traoré to revive his career—possibly on the big stage of the Premier League.
