New signing Larsen Touré says his one-time Levski Sofia team-mate Kevin Bru played a significant part in the Guinean linking up with the Blues. The 31-year-old has signed a one-year deal with an option for another season.

Bru and Touré spent the 2013/14 campaign playing for Bulgarian side Levski before the Mauritian international joined the Blues and the winger or striker moved back to France to join with Ligue 2 side Arles-Avignon, who he left at the end of the season.

“Kevin said that the manager was looking for players so I sent him a video of me playing and he passed it on,” Touré explained to the club site.

“The manager liked what he saw and I was asked in for a trial and now I’m delighted that I have joined Ipswich Town.

“For many years I have wanted to play in England and now I have the chance. Kevin has told me all about the club and the town. It’s a fantastic stadium and the fans live for the football. I can see that they really support the team.

“It was hard when I first arrived here because I have not played for three months but I’m getting there with my fitness and I’m looking forward to playing for the club.”
