Kolo Abib Touré (born March 19, 1981 in Sokoura Bouake, Côte d'Ivoire), is an Ivorian footballer currently playing for Arsenal. Touré has a great vertical leap and is one of the fastest players at his club (the others being Thierry Henry and Theo Walcott).
He is deployed by Arsène Wenger at centre-back, but is also more than capable of playing as a full-back.
Career in the Côte d'Ivoire
Kolo Touré was discovered in the Côte d'Ivoire and was a scholar at the Abidjan football school run by Jean-Marc Guillou. Touré established himself as a player for leading African club ASEC Mimosas. He earned his first full international cap for the Côte d'Ivoire at the age of 19 in 2000.
