Former Arsenal defender Kolo Toure is delighted with his move to Manchester City.

The 28-year-old Ivorian defender claims he already feels at home after signing a four-year contract following his switch from Arsenal for a reported fee of around £15million.

Toure said: "City showed they really wanted me. I always say when you love a woman and she gives back the love, you are really happy.

"That's what Manchester City have done...given me the love. I am really delighted and I aim to give back the love as well.

"I was at Arsenal for seven years and sometimes you need a new challenge in your life."

He added: "We must try to make the top six or four - that would be fantastic. That is why I am here - and City have some fantastic players.

"We are going to work for it. The club is getting bigger and going the right way. It is going to be really difficult. We will need commitment and spirit."
