Adama Traoré Diarra (born 25 January 1996), known simply as Adama, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Middlesbrough.
He started his career with Barcelona, appearing mainly for the reserves. In 2015 he signed with Aston Villa, and a year later Middlesbrough.
Adama represented Spain at under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels.
Born in L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona, Catalonia to Malian parents, Adama joined FC Barcelona's youth setup in 2004 at the age of eight, after a brief period with neighbouring CE L'Hospitalet. In 2013 he was promoted to the B-team, and made his professional debut on 6 October in a 1–0 away defeat against SD Ponferradina for the Segunda División championship.
On 9 November 2013, Adama came on as a half-time substitute but was sent off for conceding a penalty in a 3–0 loss to Real Jaén CF at the Mini Estadi. Two weeks later, Adama played his first La Liga game at the age of only 17, replacing Neymar late on in the 4–0 home win over Granada. Three days later he made his first appearance in the UEFA Champions League, coming on for Cesc Fàbregas in the 82nd minute of a 2–1 loss at Ajax for the group stage. Adama also featured for Barcelona's Under-19 side in the inaugural UEFA Youth League, playing five times and scoring twice as they won the trophy.
