Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has ruled out a move to the Premier League - even though he claims Manchester City and Arsenal want to sign him.

Toure, younger brother of City captain Kolo, said: “I have heard about interest from Manchester City and Arsenal but my future is at Barcelona.

“I have spoken to the directors at the club, I don’t want to leave and my only mission and is to stay and be a success at the club.”
