Restless Man City star Yaya Toure seeking ‘new challenges’

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has claimed he is open to “new challenges” and will not stay at a club simply to collect wages.

Reports last week suggested Toure could be part of a summer clear-out at the Etihad Stadium as the club look to reshape the squad after an underwhelming season.

That was denied by manager Manuel Pellegrini, who insisted Toure would “continue playing here because he is a very important player”.
