Ivory Coast Wonder-kid joins Tottenham


Teenage star Souleymane Coulibaly has agreed to join English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspurs.

The 16 year-old striker scored nine goals in four games for Ivory Coast during the recently concluded Under-17 World Cup.

This included a hat-trick against Brazil and four against Denmark and his efforts earned him the Golden Boot.

Souleymane had formerly been part of the youth team of Italian side AC Siena, while it has been reported that Harry Rednapp’s Spurs were set to pay around £1.5million.

A statement on Tottenham's official website read: "We are delighted to announce that we have reached agreement with Souleymane Coulibaly to join the club."
