Aston Villa have completed the signing of Barcelona winger Adama Traore.
The 19-year-old winger, who made just four senior appearances for the
Catalan giants, has signed a five-year contract at Villa Park after the
clubs agreed a deal worth €10 million plus a potential €2m in add-ons.
Traore held talks with Stoke last week over a potential deal and Liverpool were also said to be interested in the attacker.
The Mali international is a product of Barca's La Masia youth system and has signed a five-year deal at Villa Park.Barca reserve the right to buy Adama back for an agreed price at any point in the first three years of his deal and retain first option on the youngster for any future transfer from Villa.
Traore's signing is the tenth Villa have made this summer following deals for Jordan Amavi, Jordan Ayew, Mark Bunn, Jose Angel Crespo, Rudy Gestede, Idrissa Gueye, Micah Richards, Scott Sinclair and Jordan Veretout.
Significant reinforcements were required after key players Ron Vlaar, Fabian Delph and Christian Benteke all departed Tim Sherwood's squad this summer.
