Mohamed Touré #9

Profile

“If he carries on at this rate, he’ll be the greatest striker of all time.” So said one online comment after Australia’s latest next big thing announced himself to the Championship with a hat-trick on his full debut and a total of five goals in his first four appearances for Norwich. Touré was born in a Guinean refugee camp before moving to South Australia at a young age, and he counts two brothers - Al-Hasan and Musa - as fellow professional players, while his dad, uncle and sister have also played at a high level. After making his Socceroos debut at Wembley in October 2023 he said: “You have to thank your parents, the struggles they go through when you’re younger to get us to playing. Sometimes we forget where it all started and who actually put in the work from the start.” The family lived opposite a football pitch and that’s where the Touré boys spent hours honing their ball skills together. A debut for Adelaide United followed at the age of 15 before he headed to Europe, where his continued development first attracted the interest of Tony Popovic.
