Author of a very complicated 2020-2021 season, marred by a big injury, the Malian right-back Cheick Traoré will try to revive in Ligue 2, with Dijon FCO. Relegated to the second division, the Burgundians will have the rise as their main objective this season, and their summer transfer window says a lot about their ambitions. After Le Bihan and Christopher Rocchia, it is therefore a new experienced player who is joining the Côte d’Or.
26-year-old Cheick Traoré has all the qualities of a modern full-back. Fast, endowed with a very good technique with the ball on the feet, he is quite capable of providing support to attackers during the offensive phases. After two very good seasons at La Berrichonne de Châteauroux, he joined Guingamp in 2018, where he can finally reveal himself to fans of the French championship. Holder on the right flank of the Breton defense, he will unfortunately not be able to avoid the relegation of the mythical Costarmorican club. However, he is part of the group of players who have distinguished themselves this season, including players like Marcus Thuram, Ludovic Blas, or Marcus Coco. He will even take advantage of this season to be called up for the national team, where he will play a match with the Eagles of Mali. Now let’s hope that the DFCO made the right choice, and that Traoré will give satisfaction next season.
