“I’m a lucky guy. I was born with a great talent – a talent that has taken me to the pinnacle of my profession. But I’m lucky in another way. I have a massively supportive family. Without my talent – without my family, I wouldn’t be a top international footballer. I wouldn’t be following my dreams in Europe’s biggest leagues.

My name is Bertrand Traore. I’m living my dream. My goal is to give kids in Burkina Faso the best chance of living theirs.”
