The top European teams are keeping an eye on Hamed Junior Traoré after a stellar season with AJ Auxerre. An important factor in Auxerre's survival, the Ivorian international, who is on loan from Bournemouth, has become a midfield powerhouse in Ligue 1, with two assists and ten goals in 26 games.

At 25 years old, Traoré has matured into a complete player: line-breaking runs, creative flair, and leadership in key moments have made him a fan favourite and a hot commodity.
