Yaya Toure: I want to give back to Man City fans!

Manchester City hero Yaya Toure says he intends to pay back the club's loyal supporters.

The 33-year-old midfielder, who has recently won his way back into Pep Guardiola's plans, is not thinking about leaving the Etihad Stadium after almost seven years in the sky blue.

As rumours surrounding a big-money move to the Chinese Super League continue, Toure has made it vehemently clear that he yearns to stay put and reward the City faithful with more success after being a key figure in the club winning the 2012 and 2014 Premier League titles, as well as one FA Cup and two League Cups since 2011.

"I've said before that I've been involved with a lot of clubs but, especially at City, I want to give something back to the fans," said Toure.

"I'd like to continue to work hard for them, keep giving them entertainment, keep them happy - that's what I want.

"If I was tired, I'd say 'no more, move on', but I don't feel like that. I feel very, very good. I feel young."
