Remember Teemu Tainio, Tottenham fans?

You could be forgiven for having forgotten the former Finland midfielder, despite his 61 Premier League appearances and a goal in that famous 4-3 win over West Ham in 2007.

However, there's now a new Tainio in town. His 15-year-old son, Maximus, has joined Tottenham's academy on a two-year deal from HJK Helsinki.

"Now the doors have been opened and the boy has a real chance to show their abilities. What follows depends on himself," the elder Tainio told HJK's website.

Yaya Toure has rejected a bumper contract from a Chinese Super League club in favour of staying with Manchester City, reports say.

Toure spent a spell on the sidelines earlier in the season after publicly falling out with manager Pep Guardiola, but has been a regular in the Catalan's starting line-up since winning his place back in November.
