Manchester City skipper Kolo Toure is convinced his brother Yaya Toure will bring "world class" talent to the ambitious Champions League qualification chasers.
The 29-year old was buoyed in the summer after the club sealed the £24 million move for his sibling. With Roberto Mancini's men eager to climb up the Premier League table, the ex-Barcelona man is sure to improve their midfield options.
Speaking to skysports.com, Kolo Toure was thrilled to welcome his sibling to the City fold. He said: "I'm very happy for Yaya for two reasons.
"I'm happy because Manchester City have signed one of the best midfield players in the world.
"Yaya Toure is a world class player, there is no doubt about that. He's strong, powerful and his technique is fantastic.
"I'm happy also on a personal level. He's my young brother. I'll look after him as big brothers do.
"Being captain I'll have to help him as well. Hopefully he'll settle as quickly as possible to help us challenge for honours."
