Isaak Touré, who was the tallest player in Ligue 2 BKT last season at Le Havre, is now the tallest player in Ligue 1 Uber Eats at 206 centimetres, as announced on the Olympique de Marseille website. The 19-year-old defender, who is in his first top-flight season, has already spoken about his atypical morphology in professional football.
Touré: 'Size gives me many advantages'
"With my physique, I have to do more than the others," he told footnormand.fr after reassuring Ligue 1 Uber Eats forwards by confirming that he seem to have stopped growing. "Size gives me many advantages, but also disadvantages."
Behind the league's only player breaking the 200 cm mark, we find former RCSA leader Ludovic Ajorque (197cm), who is on a par with Angers' new recruit from Paris FC, Ousmane Camara. Two other centre-backs complete the top five, namely Christopher Jullien (MHSC) and El Chadaille Bitshiabu (PSG).
