The son of Kolo Toure, Yassine Toure, has signed for Leicester City's U18's.

Yassine completed his switch to the Foxes junior side on a two-year scholarship.

The youngster initially joined Leicester under-14 from Celtic after his father was named as part of Brendan Rodgers' coaching staff at Leicester City.

Yassine's favourite jersey number is seven and he operates as a right-winger. Unlike his father who made his name as a central defender but could also be deployed as a right-full back, Yassine is a wide midfielder stationed to the right of central midfield.
