Football: City's Toure signs new deal

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure signed a new four-year contract with the Premier League champions on Thursday. Toure has been a big success at Eastlands since his 2010 transfer from Barcelona and his decision to commit his future to Roberto Mancini's team until 2017 is a major boost for the club. The 29-year-old was instrumental in City winning the English title last season and the Ivory Coast star admits that success has whetted his appetite for more silverware. "This is where I want to be," Toure told City's official website.

Football: Yaya Toure vows to get City back on title track

Yaya Toure has insisted it's still possible for Manchester City to retain their Premier League title. The Ivory Coast midfielder has returned to Eastlands earlier than expected after his country's shock quarter-final loss to Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations, with City nine points adrift of leaders Manchester United. But Toure, who is set to play against Southampton this weekend, was adamant all was not lost. "We are further behind than we'd like, of course, but all we need to do is think about last season to know what is possible," Toure told City's website.
