Toure keen to make up for lost time

New Liverpool defender Kolo Toure is looking forward to becoming a full-time footballer again after two years of limited action.

The Ivorian international played just 29 league matches in the last two campaigns under Roberto Mancini at Manchester City and views his move to Anfield as the chance to make up for lost time.

“Liverpool have given me the chance to show that, at 32, I’m still one of the best defenders, and I will fight for that,” said the centre-back, who has officially signed for the Reds after his contract expired with the former Premier League champions.
