Abdou Razack Traoré (born 28 December 1988) is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Norwegian Premier League club Rosenborg, where he plays as a midfielder.

At Rosenborg, he plays alongside his compatriot and Cote d'Ivoire international Didier Ya Konan, who joined the club in December 2006 from homeland club ASEC Abidjan.

Traoré played for Raja Casablanca before he ended his contract and joined Rosenborg B.K. on a free transfer a few months later.

Traoré is known for his great technique and speed. He plays left forward in a 4-3-3 formation in Rosenborg due to the many midfielders in the club. His left foot is good for both shooting and crossing. He has also shown that he is an excellent dribbler and can also jump and head despite his height.

He is considered by many one of the greatest talents in Norwegian football. In the November 2007 issue of World Soccer he is featured on their list of the 50 most exciting teenagers in world football.[1].
