Manchester City legend Yaya Toure has included three current Man City players in an ultra-attacking all-time teammate XI.
Appearing as a pundit on Sky Sports’ Monday Night Football coverage on Man City vs Wolves, the three-time Premier League winner was asked to name a team made up of his greatest teammates following his former side’s 3-0 win.
Having won seven trophies at both Barcelona and Man City – the clubs he was most famous for representing – Toure had a wealth of world-class talent to choose from.
Four-time African Player of the Year, the former Ivory Coast international also captained Les Éléphants to African Cup of Nations glory in 2015 alongside his brother, Kolo.
Tour̩ also played alongside Didier Drogba at international level Рalthough the Chelsea legend had retired from national duty by 2015 Рmaking his choice of striker even more difficult.
However, the choice has been made and there was no room for Man City’s most recent record-breaker: David Silva.
