Yaya Touré

Yaya is from the Ivory Coast. He is a midfielder and plays for Manchester City. Yaya used to play for FC Barcelona and was center back at that time. He has been voted African Footballer of the Year for many consecutive years. At the age of 18 he attracted attention from European leagues and gained entry. He is captain of the Ivory Coast's national team. Yaya caught my attention this week with his goal against Arsenal. It was a clean and strong goal.
