MANCHESTER UNITED, Chelsea and Manchester City are in a three-way battle for Lille starlet Adama Traore.
Adama Traore is an emerging talent
The 20-year-old midfielder has a contract with Lille until 2019 but French newspaper L'Équipe say the Premier League giants are all tracking his progress.

He said: "He's a great player.
