Third Toure out to impress

Ibrahim Toure is hoping to follow his brother Yaya to Olympiakos.

Ibrahim Toure is hoping to follow his brother Yaya to Olympiakos, and could eventually pitch up alongside another sibling, Kolo, at Arsenal.

The teenage Ivory Coast striker is due to spend next week training with Olympiakos, where Yaya is a member of the first-team squad.

He currently plays for Toumodi FC in his homeland and graduated through the famed ASEC Academy in Ivory Coast.

But while he waits to grasp his chance to impress during his time with Olympiakos, he could also be offered a training stint with Arsenal.

Gunners defender Kolo Toure (pictured) has admitted in the past that there is the possibility that his brother could have a trial at Highbury.

"He's a striker, two-footed and very fast," said Kolo. "He might have a chance of a trial here at Arsenal."

In addition to running the rule over Ibrahim Toure, Olympiakos will also spend the week assessing Nigerian defender Adeola Waidi Olatunde, Cameroon striker Webnje Nfor Ernest and Georgian full back Giorgi Popkhadze.
