Adama Traore has told Aston Villa that he wants to leave the club before the end of the month, the Birmingham Mail can reveal.

The Spanish winger held talks with boss Roberto Di Matteo earlier this week and informed him of his decision after the 3-0 win over Rotherham.

Di Matteo was hoping to get the best out of Adama this season and even tried to convince him to stick around and play a part in the claret and blues’ promotion push.

This is everything we know as the news comes to us.
