Traore, 22, spent the last two seasons at the Riverside Stadium.
He scored five goals and provided 10 assists in the previous campaign in the second-tier championship to be voted Middlesbrough’s player of the season.

He follows goalkeeper Rui Patricio, defender Jonny Castro Otto, midfielder Joao Moutinho and forward Raul Jimenez into the club.
