Traoré gave an interview after joining Deportivo La Coruña, discussing conversations he had with Aubameyang, who previously worked with him at Barcelona, and the "project" that Deportivo La Coruña is building, which convinced him to join the club.

Traoré said: "The club has done excellent work, and the project they are building is part of the reason I came here. I spoke with Aubameyang, and he told me how good and attractive this project is, which convinced me. Besides that, I have some connection with Deportivo. When I made my debut for Barça B, Deportivo was one of my first opponents, and now it feels like destiny."

Traoré signed a two-year contract with Deportivo La Coruña. Previously, he played primarily in English football, having played for Aston Villa, Wolves, Fulham, and West Ham United.

Seeking Career Development

Traoré said: "I am very happy. When this opportunity came up, my agent told me about it. Returning to Spain, where I was born, was always a very good choice. I hope my career continues to develop, and I also hope to gain experience playing in Spain."

Adama Traoré, who has earned 8 caps for the Spanish national team, acknowledged that he still needs time to reach 100% fitness, as he had trained alone for a long time throughout the summer.

Traoré said: "The head coach knows my characteristics well, and that is why they recruited me. I can help the team in different positions, such as winger, wing-back, or shadow striker."

A few hours before Traoré joined, Aubameyang also posted a photo of the two of them from their time at Barça on social media, with a weightlifter GIF, to welcome him.

For Traoré, this move also gave him the chance to return to La Liga and move away from his long-standing role as a super-sub off the bench that he played in English football.

For much of the summer transfer window, he had hoped to stay in the Premier League and maintain his salary level from recent years. However, as the transfer deadline approached, if he could not find a team after September 1st, he faced the prospect of unemployment. Therefore, Deportivo's late contact last week finally came through.
