Adama Traore Has Returned To Barcelona As A Beast, His Body Transformation Since 2012 Is Insane

Traore joined Barcelona's famed La Masia academy at the age of 8 in 2004 and came through the ranks at the Blaugrana.

However, he only made four appearances the first-team and he ended up playing in England with Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves.

After snubbing Antonio Conte's Spurs, the Spain international has headed back to Barca on loan and the club have an option to buy him outright.

Traore was a scrawny kid in his first spell at the Catalan outfit but returns as an absolute physical specimen.

The 26-year-old, who puts baby oil on his arms to slip away from opponents, looks like he could be a sprinter, NFL player or heavyweight boxer, with his combination of speed and strength absolutely next level.

Remarkably, Traore's physique has been achieved without the use of weights - which has surprised plenty of people.

"No, I haven't lifted a single weight. I know people won't believe it, but it's true."

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano,Traore has already agreed a five-year deal in the event that Barca elect to purchase him permanently for €30 million in the summer.

He is capable of playing as a winger of wing-back and his arrival follows on from the recent additions of Dani Alves and Ferran Torres to Xavi Hernandez's underachieving side.
