‘Very special’: Dani Ceballos wary of Adama Traore as Arsenal face Wolves this weekend

Arsenal midfielder, Dani Ceballos, has called Wolves winger Adama Traore ‘intimidating’ ahead of the clash with Nuno Santo’s men this weekend.

Ceballos, who could be in line to start for Arsenal, knows Traore well from their time in Spain together. The pair have known each other since they were teenagers.

The Wolves powerhouse has developed a reputation as one of the quickest players in world football and has captured attention due to his physique and power. And Ceballos, speaking to Arsenal’s official programme, seemed to be warning his teammates about Traore.

“I think he’s a very special player that any coach in the world would love to have in their team.

“Apart from the fact that he’s really intimidating in terms of his physique. I think he’s really improved on a technical level and in terms of cutting inside or going wide, plus he scores goals too.”

Traore could well fancy his chances against the Arsenal defence this weekend. However, he may also not make the starting XI, with Nuno Santo at times picking Daniel Podence and Pedro Neto ahead of the Spanish star.

Arsenal, meanwhile, will be doing their preparation on Traore. Although, the Wolves man has yet to score or assist this season, which could be a concern for the Wolves management.

Ceballos is right to pick out Traore as a danger man for Wolves but he is nowhere near the level he showed last season as yet.

That’s not to say he isn’t a big threat but there is definitely something missing. However, that raw pace and power can cause any defence problems so Ceballos and Arsenal need to be on their guard.
