• Former Barcelona Adama Traore joined Premier League club Fulham as a free agent
• The former Wolves star signed a two years contract with an option of a third
• The Londoners announced him with a cryptic post on social media which has got fans talking

Football clubs are getting more creative with their announcement of players, particularly with newly promoted Premier League club Burnley dropping classic videos for their new signings.

Fulham's communications department expended their creative energy to announce a new signing yesterday, and fans can't stop talking about it.

Fulham completed the signing of Adama Traore as a free agent on a two-year contract after the Spanish winger ran down his Wolverhampton Wanderers contract last summer.

The London club first tweeted a cryptic image to notify fans of an impending announcement - a picture of a bottle of baby oil was shared on Twitter, which the player uses to rub his arms to avoid the grasp of defenders.

Burnley's classic announcements
