Yaya Toure signs for French side Caen - but it's not Man City's midfielder

It looked for all the world like SC Caen had moved quickly to pull off one of the biggest transfer coups in recent memory when they announced that Yaya Toure had agreed a deal to join the mid-table Ligue 1 outfit.

Indeed, more than a few quizzical eyebrows were raised when the French team proudly announced their new acquisition on Thursday evening.

However, it quickly became apparent that Caen's pulling power wasn't quite as impressive as first thought when they posted a photo of their new recruit on Twitter -- a teenage namesake brought in from fourth-division side AC Amiens.

"We have a new signing at our training centre," Caens declared via their official website. "We wish him the same successful future as his namesake."
