Newcastle United midfielder Momo Sissoko admits he's a big fan of Manchester City star Yaya Toure.

His all-action style has drawn comparisons with the Manchester City superstar.

Sissoko, 23, said: "Toure is definitely a player I admire a lot. He's had a fantastic career at all the clubs he's been and won a lot of things.

"He's a huge player for Manchester City.

"I do think we have got similar styles - we're both powerful players and both like to get forward and try to score goals.

"Toure is Toure and I'm my own man but he is definitely someone I look up to.

"If I could reach that level that would be great.

"It's something to aim for and obviously I hope I can."
