Wolverhampton Wanderers have announced the signing of former Chelsea and Olympique Lyonnais forward Bertrand Traore.

The 31-year-old Burkina Faso captain joins the Championship club on a free transfer, six days after the transfer window closed, after leaving Sunderland at the end of his contract this summer.

Traore made 12 Premier League appearances as Sunderland finished seventh last season to qualify for the Europa League.

A versatile attacking player, Traore arrives at Wolves as they aim to mount a promotion push following relegation from the top flight last term.

He may be available to face Ghana’s Jordan Ayew’s Sheffield United on Sunday.
