Report: Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City vying for Lille's Adama Traore

Manchester United, Chelsea and Manchester City have locked horns in a bid to sign Lille midfielder Adama Traore, according to reports.

The 20-year-old was voted the best player at the recent Under-20s World Cup in New Zealand after scoring four goals and providing three assists for Mali.

According to The Express, the Premier League trio are tracking the Mali-born player's progress, despite his contract at the Ligue 1 club running until 2019.

Traore began his career at Malian club AS Bakaridjan in 2013 before signing for Lille in January 2014.
