MONACO, Aug 16 (SW) – Principality side Monaco have completed the signing of impressive young midfielder Yaya Toure.

The player was impressive in Champions League action last season for Olympiakos and continued his good form at the recent World Cup with the Ivory Coast.

The player has reportedly signed from the Greek giants for a £3 million fee, a paltry sum given the reported interest in him from bigger clubs.

The brother of Arsenal defender Kolo, the pair had voiced their hopes of being reunited at club level in London, but Yaya will now set about continuing his career in Ligue 1.
