Adama Traore delighted to be "back home" at Barcelona

Adama Traore has said that he is "happy to be back home", with the attacker re-joining Barcelona on loan for the remainder of the 2021-22 campaign.

The Spain international will finish the season at Camp Nou, having been allowed to leave Wolverhampton Wanderers during the January transfer window.

Barcelona are intending to sign the 26-year-old on a permanent deal this summer, and Traore has revealed his delight at securing a return to the Catalan giants, having previously been at the club between 2004 and 2015.

"I have been away for seven years, I will do all I can to make the Barcelona fans happy with me. I am happy to be back home and I hope to demonstrate my talents on Sunday," Traore told reporters.

"I have changed physically, I have gained experience but I have never lost that Barcelona essence. If the Adama today is the same as yesterday, that is a lost day. Getting better every day is really important to me.

"Sometimes you have to take a different path to reach the first team. I am really happy, excited and ready to help the in every way. Going back to the Camp Nou will be very special. I am coming back home."

Traore, who will wear the number 11 shirt for Xavi's side, could make his second debut for the club in Sunday's La Liga contest with Atletico Madrid.
