Wolves winger Adama Traore has signed up to Common Goal's anti-racist project (ARP) as he believes 'all too often in football the headlines are stolen by racist actions.'
Traore has pledged to pay one per cent of his wages to the initiative, an action-based programme aimed at ending racism in football, which is a part of the growing social impact movement which supports and empowers football-based charities around the world.
There are more than 200 professional players and managers from 45 nationalities on the Juan Mata's Common Goal team, including Pernille Harder, Paulo Dybala, Vivianne Miedema, Jurgen Klopp and Serge Gnabry.

Influential football figures such as UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin, and the iconic former player Eric Cantona have also joined the movement.
'All too often in football the headlines are stolen by racist actions. If I've learned anything in my career so far, it's that leading with action rather than empty words is what counts in making a difference,' Traore said on joining the cause.
'I've become part of Common Goal in order to tackle racism through the anti-racist project. It's important to me to use my platform to be part of the solution.
