Yaya Toure

LONDON. — Yaya Toure has quashed speculation that he wants to leave English soccer champions Manchester City.
Toure has been linked with a move away from the Premier League champions this summer, amid reports of a breakdown in his relationship with the club’s hierarchy, but the Ivory Coast international was quick to reassure the City faithful.
“There has been a lot of speculation but they’ve always been good with me and good with my family,” he told Sky Sports News.

“I want to say that I will always honour my contract and stay as long as possible and don’t think about all the speculation saying that I’m leaving.
“For the fans for all they have done for me and the club as well, I need to say it’s a big pleasure to stay and continue and try to enjoy the next season.

“Everything is fine now. There was a lot of speculation about people sending me away and people were sending me everywhere.” —  Sky Sports.
