Liverpool player Kolo Toure has offered to change his name to console a fan who had the defender's name wrongly tattooed on his foot.

According to metro.co.uk, the supporter, believed to be 20-year-old Dom Pearson, had the new signing's name inked across his foot as a tribute to Toure's promising start to life at Anfield, only to discover the tattoo artist had misspelled his surname.

Toure said that he would change his name to 'Kolo Touro' to save the blushes of his No.1 fan.

The footballer plays for the Ivory Coast national team as a central defender.
