The European Under 19 Championship is uncovering young players who can take advantage of the opportunity to take a leap in their career. This is the case of Isaak Toure, a defender from Le Havre who is reportedly attracting interest from Olympique de Marseille and Manchester City.

The big clubs have already set their sights on the U19 European Championship currently underway. One of the biggest sensations so far is France, who have six points from a possible six after beating Slovakia and Romania 1-2.

One French player who is standing out from the rest is Le Havre defender Isaak Toure. So far, he has played both games as a starter and finished both of them on the pitch. He is a tall centre-back, over two metres tall, and he knows how to make the most of his corpulence.

Such has been his form that both Olympique Marseille and Manchester City have already had their eye on him, according to 'AS'. The 19-year-old seems to have attracted the attention of French and English scouts and they are already on the lookout for him ahead of the end of the tournament.

He made 17 appearances for his club last season, twelve of which were starts. His emergence as an U19 international could provide him with a unique opportunity in his career.
