However, from Manchester City to a club who are in mid-table on the Ligue 1 log sounded a step very low for Yaya Toure considering the options available for the Cote d’Ivoire international.
Further details of the transfer deal revealed Yaya Toure was still a player of English Premier League club Manchester City. The Yaya Toure who had signed for Caen was a teenage namesake from AC Amiens.
French club Caen in statement on their official website wrote:
"We have a new signing at our training centre. We wish him the same successful future as his namesake."
