Life and career

Born in Dakar,[1] Touré played for the Academy Gentina Aldo during his youth.[4] He spent one month with Metz during the 2004–05 season, an experience that he described as leaving "a bitter taste".[4] In February 2005, as a part of a co-operation project between Metz and the Chengdu Football Association, Touré moved to China League One side Chengdu Wuniu on a free transfer.[5] Wearing the number 10 shirt,[6] he scored two goals in 18 league games during the 2005 season.
