What Kolo Toure has been teaching Leicester’s Wesley Fofana
Former-Arsenal centre-half Kolo Toure is now a Leicester City coach. Foxes star Wesley Fofana explains what he’s been learning from the Ivorian.
While Fofana is tipped for a colossal future with one of Europe’s elite clubs, his skill set, knowledge and tangible experience is being refined with the King Power side. And Leicester just happen to be one of the main outfits on the rise in world football.
Stability has also been prudently planned for on Filbert Way: a brand new state-of-the-art training facility, plans to extend the ground by a quarter of its current size despite the coronavirus causing enormous global financial issues, and a commitment to invest and reinvest funds into the now prospering but still youthful squad of talent.

Therefore, if you ask me and Foxes of Leicester, the young Frenchman is in the best possible place for his development. Additionally, First Team staff such as manager Brendan Rodgers and Toure – who is sometimes labelled as Assistant Manager but is a coach, according to lcfc.com – are a great mix of solid characters: positivity, intelligence; knowledge as well as footballing intensity, creating a nurturing environment for athletes.
If Fofana does end up at Manchester City, Liverpool, Paris Saint-Germain, or even Real Madrid or Barcelona – I wouldn’t be surprised. Hopefully he wins a few cups with the Foxes before being sold for a stupidly high price, in that possible eventuality.
