Yaya Toure has ruled out a transfer to the Premier League, content to fight for a place at Barcelona.

The midfielder has been rumoured to join a host clubs, with sibling Kolo Toure trying his best to persuade him to join Manchester City.

However, the younger Toure insists that European football is key to a move and that has excluded the Sky Blues from any consideration.

Currently, the 26-year-old has pledged his loyalty to La Blaugrana and hopes to help the club to more glory domestically and in Europe.

"I have heard about interest from Manchester City and Arsenal but my future is at Barcelona," Toure told The Mirror.

"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."
