Manchester City great Yaya Toure is working with England's U21 squad.

The Daily Mail says Toure is completing his coaching badges and is currently working in Tottenham's academy.

He was handed a role with the Under-16s by the north London club, who also added Jermain Defoe to their coaching ranks over the summer.

And part of Toure's education has seen the former Premier League star travel up to St George's Park to work within Lee Carsley's coaching team.

Toure's former City team-mate Joleon Lescott is also part of Carsley's coaching staff.

Toure is shadowing the Under-21 set up as he works towards the completion of his badges.
