Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma reveals his ambition to emulate Man City legend Yaya Toure after the Ivorian joined the club as a youth coach... and jokes that he's 'coming for the Ballon d'Or' after receiving advice from his hero

Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma has revealed his ambitions to emulate Yaya Toure, in a sit-down discussion with the Manchester City legend.

Bissouma joined Tottenham in June from Brighton on a £25million deal, while Toure arrived at the club one month later after he was handed a full-time role coaching for the club's academy.

In a video posted on Tottenham's official Twitter account, Bissouma revealed that Toure was his hero growing up, and joked that he's 'coming for the Ballon d'Or' after receiving advice from the former Ivory Coast international.
