Manchester City youngster Abdul Razak has thanked Kolo Toure for the influence that he has had on his career.

Liverpool confirmed this evening that they had agreed to sign the Ivorian on a free transfer when his contract at the Etihad Stadium expires next month.

"Congratulations papa Kolo on your @LFC move. Thanks for being such a positive role model. All the best," 20-year-old Razak wrote on Twitter.

Toure will officially become a Liverpool player on July 1.
