Barcelona Midfielder Yaya Toure Rules Out Premier League Move

Ivorian wants Barca stay...

By Adithya Ananth

Yaya Toure rounded off Barcelona's 3-1 win over Mallorca with a stunning strike.
Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has ruled out the possibility of a move to the Premier League, citing his contentment with carrying on at the Catalan club.

The former Monaco player has been linked with an array of clubs in the past, with brother Kolo Toure urging him to join the Manchester City ranks.

However, the younger sibling had previously maintained that the prospect of not having any European football had deterred his sight on a potential move.

Presently, the 26-year-old defensive midfielder has pledged allegiance to Barca and hopes to help the European champions on to further glory.

"I have heard about interest from Manchester City and Arsenal but my future is at Barcelona," Toure said, according to The Mirror.

"I have spoken to the directors at the club, I don’t want to leave and my only mission and is to stay and be a success at the club."
