The following season for Traoré continued smoothly for him at CFR Cluj, when he was constantly in the first squad as a full-time regular. He scored his first league goal of the season and set up Cristian Bud in a match against Astra Ploiești on 13 August 2010. Traoré received his first red card of his career after a brutal foul in the second half as CFR lost 3–0 against Sportul Studențesc on 20 August 2010. On 15 November 2010, he scored his first brace of his career in a 3–0 win over Gloria Bistrița. In the 2010–11 UEFA Champions League group stage, Traoré scored one goal in the 2–1 win against Basel and one goal in the 1–1 draw against Roma (after hitting the post twice in Italy against the same team in the first match), both matches in the group phase and home.[7]

In February 2011, Traoré was transferred to Kuban Krasnodar in the Russian Premier League for a reported fee of €6 million.[8] In the opening game of the season on 13 March 2011, Traoré made his debut, coming on as a substitute, in a 2–0 loss against Rubin Kazan. On 2 April 2011, Traoré scored his first league goal of the season, followed up by setting up a goal for Vladislav Kulik in a 3–1 win over Spartak Moscow. After the match, Traoré says he dedicated his first goal to the club's supporters.[9] Traoré then scored his first brace in Russian Football and set up a goal for Gheorghe Bucur in a 3–2 win over Amkar Perm.[10]
By May, Traoré was voted player of the month by the club for his recent good performance.[11] His further good performance earned him player of month in September[12] and November.[13] In his first season at Kuban Krasnodar, Traoré made thirty-nine appearances and scored eighteen times in all competitions.
At the start of his football career in Russia, Traoré was compared to his compatriot striker Seydou Doumbia.[14]
Anzhi Makhachkala
[edit]On 29 June 2012, Anzhi reported that they had signed Traoré for an undisclosed fee.[15] Media reports estimated the transfer fee to be around €18 million.[16] Upon joining the club, Traoré was given number 19 shirt[17] and aimed to make the club very successful in the near future.[18]
Traoré scored his first goal for the club against former club Kuban Krasnodar on 22 July, scoring the winner for Anzhi in the 43rd minute.[19] In Anzhi's first European campaign in nine years, the club played its first match in the qualification round against AZ and scored in a 1–0. He would then score another in the second leg and the club would eventually advanced to the Group Stage after a 5–0 win. He scored another goal, in Anzhi's 1–0 defeat of Liverpool on 8 November in a Europa League group stage game.[20] In his first season at Anzhi, Traoré would score seventeen goals in thirty-eight appearances in all competitions. Russian's newspaper Sport Express named Traoré as the most outstanding player at Anzhi in his first season.[21]
In his second season at Anzhi, Traoré started his season very well when he scored in a 1–1 draw against Lokomotiv Moscow.[22] However, the announcement was marred with restructuring at business level, which lead Anzhi chose to transfer list their whole squad, including recent signing Traoré.[23] To add an insult to an injury, Traoré have his own concern when he suffered injuries.[24][25]

Return to Monaco
[edit]After a disastrous spell at Everton, Traoré was given a chance in the first team by new manager Leonardo Jardim after being recalled ahead of the new season.[37] However, he received a setback when he suffered a hamstring injury that caused him to miss the first nine matches at the start of the season.[38] Manager Jardim made comment about Traoré quoting: "He was wounded. He will return. I trust him."[39] Following his recovery, Traoré made his Monaco debut, where he came on as a substitute for Anthony Martial in the 64th minute, in a 2–0 win over Evian on 17 October 2014.[40] Traoré scored his first Monaco goal on 9 November, in a 1–1 draw against Saint-Étienne.[41]
On 3 January 2016, when Monaco hosted seventh-tier Saint-Jean Beaulieu in the last 64 of the Coupe de France, Traoré scored four goals in an eventual 10–2 victory, despite being sent off at half time.[42]
Loan to CSKA Moscow
[edit]On 13 July 2016, he returned to Russia, joining CSKA Moscow on loan for the 2016–17 season.[43] On 29 January 2017, following CSKA's signing of another striker Aaron Olanare, Traoré was removed from CSKA's Russian Premier League roster,[44] as he was negotiating another loan deal to Sporting Gijón.[45]
