Toure joins Olympiakos

Yaya Toure, Arsenal defender Kolo Toure’s younger brother has been signed by Olympiakos Piraeus.

The younger Toure spent a summer on trail for Arsenal a few seasons back but didn’t get picked up. He joined Belgian club Beveren instead and then Ukrainian club Metalurg Donetsk.

The Ivorian midfielder was apparently a target of Norwegian coach Trond Solied and joins the Greek side for a 1.2 million euro fee.

Jean - Marc Guillou, owner of the MimoSifCom institute ( not anymore, but when Yaya Touré played in Belgium, he was chairman there ), brings players from the Ivory Coast to Beveren, in exchange for a percentage for Guillou when Beveren sell their MimoSifCom players. So Beveren didn't quite sign Touré, but they actually ' got ' him from Guillou.

Thanks Samuel,

I was struggling a bit to find much info on the kid.

Since football transfers dot info has been down its harder to find a players trail.
