Toure insists family, not cash lured him to Man City

Yaya Toure insists family - not money - lured him to Manchester City.

Toure is reported to be the Premier League's best-paid player, with wages of around £180,000 a week.

Yet he insists the City challenge and the prospect of teaming up with brother Kolo were key.

Toure, in New York on City's American tour, said: "I wanted to play with my brother one time. It is not about the money."
