The player who is making up that part of the deal is French striker, Alioune Toure. Toure was bought, by Keegan, from French side Nantes, but never really figured in the first team after the club discovered that he suffered from deep vein thrombosis. Toure is believed to be valued at £1 million in the £13 million deal. |
