Ergun is reported to have told Traore about Galatasaray’s plans next season in a bid to convince him into making a temporary move to Turkey.

Galatasaray are keen on loaning the 21-year-old Chelsea ace.

Traore spent the season on loan at Ajax scoring 13 goals and providing six assists in all competitions.

Per the source, Everton, Stoke City, Borussia Dortmund, Red Bull Leipzig, Monaco and Lyon are all in the race for the Burkino Faso international.
