Yaya Touré, the Ivorian international footballer, recently joined Twitter on October 3 and has been actively engaging with fans through the platform. In one of his tweets, he announced that he was heading to Abidjan to begin preparations for the first leg of the 2014 World Cup play-offs with the Ivory Coast national team.
His brother, Kolo Touré, welcomed him on Twitter, showcasing the camaraderie between the two footballers.
Yaya Touré was accompanied by his teammate Arouna Koné on the trip, and he took the opportunity to playfully challenge the Everton striker. Touré jokingly referred to Koné as the “Wigan star” before correcting himself to acknowledge Koné’s current club, Everton. The banter continued with Touré teasing Koné about sending him back to Wigan, adding a light-hearted touch to their interaction on Twitter.
