Alongside the music video, he posted: ‘When my boy and his cousins challenge Adama to a race!! What a down-to-earth CEO!’
Traoré doesn’t reach top speed in the footrace, but the youngsters are clearly having fun and can be heard shouting: ‘Yes Adama! Yes Adama!’ as they try to keep up with the 26-year-old star.
Traore’s actions have been praised by many on social media, including Wolves supporters struggling this season.
“With all the shit going on right now, this is the wholesome content you love to see. It doesn’t take much to make one’s year – brilliant from Adama. The sheer joy in the kids’ voices – that’s the connection that is sorely lacking,” said one Twitter user.
“Fair play to Adama, what a great thing to do, that’s a reminder there,” commented another.
“This is pure joy. They will never forget this,” said a third.
Traore (pictured) was named in FIFA 19 as the fastest footballer in the world and has reached speeds of 22.12 mph on the pitch. On the training ground he reportedly recorded a speed of 23.62 mph
