Kolo Toure offers to change name after fan misspells his name on a tattoo

Kolo Toure

According to Metro, Liverpool player Kolo Toure has jokingly agreed to change his name to ‘Kolo Touro’ after a fan had the Ivory Coast defender’s name wrongly tattooed on his foot.

20-year-old Dom Pearson, a Liverpool fan, wanted to get the defender’s name inked after his move to Anfield. However, the tattoo artist misspelt Toure’s surname, causing the furore.

Toure tweeted on the issue as follows:

"@JoshKillner: Can't believe @domjpearson made The Metro with his 'Kolo Touro' tattoo. #lad http://t.co/BJkggXENwf" I will change my name
