Lassina Traore: Shakhtar are an intermediate step

Shakhtar forward Lassina Traore said that he plans to change the club in the future.

“The war is a great drama for the Ukrainian people. I talk a lot about this with my teammates and pray for peace.

Of course I have dreams. From the moment I arrived from Ajax, it became clear that Shakhtar should become an intermediate step before a stronger championship. I'm definitely open to it.

But I don't think that now is the time to talk about it, because Shakhtar have something else on their mind now. I am fully focused on the last stage of rehabilitation. I need to be sure that I'm ready for the best season with Shakhtar - in the league and the Champions League. Or to a new step,” Traore said.
