Touré is convenced that if Ibrahimovic does finally join Barca, he will be an important member of the team. The Ivory Coast midfielder stresses Ibrahimovic’s “height and quality”.


In the game against Spurs Touré showed he was back to the same level he showed at the end of last season, setting up Bojan’s goal after a surge from the back, something he claims: “is nothing new for me, I did that a few times last season and also at Monaco”

Versatility
