Yaya Toure denies mega Man City salary claims

Yaya Toure denies he's on £220,000-a-week at Manchester City.

The midfielder is regarded as the highest paid player in the Premier League.

But Toure insists: "When I read I had only come here for the money, it made me really angry. And the figures are all wrong anyway.

"My father joked I would be able to retire at the end of the season!

"But I'm going to be here for a lot longer than that - and for all the right reasons.

"The most difficult thing for a club trying to become a bigger club is to learn the winning mentality. It takes time.

"There are some players who think that fourth will be good enough this season.

"In my opinion, fourth is definitely NOT good enough.

"We have to do better after all the money that has been spent."
