Norwich midfielder Fer: Man City's Toure my hero

Norwich City midfielder Leroy Fer was happy to face Manchester City's Yaya Toure on the weekend.

Fer came face-to-face with one of his idols in the weekend Premier League 0-0 draw with Manchester City, and Toure's shirt is now a cherished momento.

"We swapped shirts and it is already in a frame. I was happy with that," he said. "He is a really good player. He has been a big player in the Premier League and also at Barcelona. I love the challenge of playing against him and that was good for me."
