Spread the wordThe 30‑year‑old moves from west to east London, where he reunites with Nuno Espirito Santo, who managed him at Wolves. Capped eight times by Spain, Traore has made just two Premier League starts for Fulham this season and was not involved in their 2–1 win at home to Brighton on Saturday. “I’m so happy to be here, so happy to help the team the maximum I can and show my quality,” said Traore. Having started his career at Barcelona, Traore had spells at Aston Villa, Middlesbrough and Wolves before joining Fulham in 2023 on a free transfer. West Ham have been among the most active teams in the January transfer window, signing forwards Pablo Felipe from Gil Vicente for £20m and Taty Castellanos from Lazio for £25.2m.
