Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka tips 20-year-old winger Adama Traore for a bright future after a promising display during his side's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.

Middlesbrough manager Aitor Karanka has tipped Adama Traore to become a "big, big player" for his side.

The 20-year-old completed more dribbles than any other player in any other Premier League game this season during Boro's 1-0 defeat to Chelsea at the Riverside Stadium this afternoon.

However, the youngster's end product was often lacking and Karanka was keen to stress that the winger still has a lot to learn.

"It's normal that everybody is excited when he has the ball, but he has the ball three or four minutes in one game and the rest of the game is 87 minutes, so we have to be careful," he told reporters.

"He is doing really well, he is improving a lot, but he has much more to improve and much more to learn. Because he's young, he can [improve] and, going in this way, for sure he can be a big, big player."

Traore, who came through the ranks at Barcelona, was making just his fourth Premier League start of the season.
