Despite maintaining a low profile in the current transfer window, Yaya Touré left a lasting impact in the previous season. Renowned for his playmaking abilities and awarded the African Golden Ball in 2012, Touré, who aspires to conclude his career with Manchester City, showcased his prowess by scoring 6 goals in the previous campaign. The former ASEC Mimosa player, making 32 appearances for the club, has earned praise from his coach, Manuel Pellegrini.
Describing Touré as an incredible and dedicated individual committed to his job, Pellegrini expressed his admiration, stating, “He’s a very good choice for Man City, and I hope he brings a lot of trophies to Man City.” The Citizens’ coach shared these sentiments during the club’s tour.
As Manchester City gears up for their first Premier League match at home against Newcastle on August 19, the anticipation is high, with Touré expected to play a pivotal role in the team’s success.
