Yaya Toure rues missed Arsenal opportunity

Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure admits that missing out on a dream move to Arsenal could be the one regret he has in his career. Yaya had hoped to link up with his brother Kolo at his former club.

Toure has been a revelation for City since joining from Barcelona, but if the Ivory Coast midfielder had it his way he may not have ever played for the Citizens and would have been in London with the Gunners instead.


“For me, England was the country of rhythm, speed, commitment and beautiful game, a country for me," Toure told L'Equipe.


"But I always wanted to go to Arsenal and this is the missed appointment in my career. I had a test at Arsenal, but I have not had the opportunity to go there because I could not get work permits."
