Football: Yaya Toure confirms to stay at Manchester City

Yaya Toure has confirmed that he will stay on at Manchester City after chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak told him that the club would not consider selling him amid interest from Inter Milan.

Toure said he would definitely stay at the club and the fans need not worry, the Mirror reported.

The Ivorian also said that his target this year was to try to do everything possible to make this team improve well and he was sure with his experience, with the players coming in a couple of weeks, a couple of months, definitely it would be a strong City next year.

His comments came after he was assured that he was a key figure in the club's future by the owner, Sheikh Mansour.

City finished eight points behind champions Chelsea in the recently completed Barclays Premier League season.

Toure said that his biggest target is to get back the silverware because City had been in the shadow of the United for so long.

He insisted that he would do everything possible to win the Champions League.

Earlier, his agent, Dimitri Seluk, had said Touré would remain at the club he joined from Barcelona five years ago.
