In just two hours, they managed to snap up a record 22 players - 12 coming in on permanent contracts and a further 10 joining on loan deals until the end of the season. He arrived on loan for the rest of the season.

In August 2019, Traoré signed for Moldovan National Division club Zimbru Chișinău.[2]
