Toure vows to stay at Barca

(GSM) – Yaya Toure insists he wants to stay at Barcelona.

The Ivorian midfielder has long been linked with a move to the Premier League and both Arsenal and Manchester City have reportedly expressed their interest but Toure has ruled out an exit from the Camp Nou.

“There is no better club to play at than Barca. I’m happy here and am not thinking of leaving,” Toure is quoted as saying by El Mundo Deportivo.

The 26-year-old midfielder faces strong competition from Sergio Busquets for a place in the starting line-up at the Camp Nou.

“We must respect the decisions of Josep Guardiola. He (Busquets) is a great player, he knows the game plan perfectly and is very smart on the field, he just needs a little progress physically,” Toure said.

“Winning six titles is something historic but I am ambitious and want to win more. Guardiola is the most important person. He supports the team, helps you in difficult times and makes playing at a club like Barca a bit easier.”
