Toure to stay at City ‘as long as possible’

Yaya Toure has reaffirmed his commitment to Manchester City and said he wants to stay at the club for "as long as possible".

The Ivory Coast international has been persistently linked with a move away from Eastlands this summerafter his agent Dimitry Seluksuggested the 31-year-old felt he had been treated disrespectfully by the club.

Toure then suffered the heartache of losing his younger brother Ibrahim to cancer, while his country’s World Cup campaign floundered, but the former Barcelona midfielder now feels composed and ready to focus on City again.
