Bertrand Isidore Traoré (born 6 September 1995) is a Burkinabé professional footballer who plays as a forward or a right winger for Premier League club Sunderland and captains the Burkina Faso national team.
After beginning his career at Auxerre, Traoré finished his development at Chelsea, and made his debut in a one-and-a-half-year loan at Vitesse in the Eredivisie. After a season in the Premier League with Chelsea, he was loaned back to the Netherlands to play for Ajax in 2016, and a year later signed for Lyon for €10 million. He then played for İstanbul Başakşehir on loan until 2023.
A full international from the age of 15, Traoré represented Burkina Faso at five Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
