Toure not planning talks with other clubs


Yaya Toure has no plans to speak to other clubs as he wants to concentrate on Manchester City.

Toure is free to speak to other clubs after entering the final six months of his contract at the Etihad Stadium and could leave on a free transfer in the summer if City fail to offer him a new deal.

Having been frozen out of the first team for the first few months of the season, Toure has forced his way back into the side and, despite facing an uncertain future at the club, he is happy to put his situation to one side in order to focus on helping City's Premier League title challenge.

"No, I won't do that. My focus (is) on City, the future is there because for now the league is not finished," Toure said.

"Me and the guys are always focused. That's the main point. I'm a footballer, I belong to the field. After that is difficult.

"Chelsea are in a good way but we are going to fight until the end, make it difficult."

City are seven points behind league leaders Chelsea but have played a game more than Antonio Conte's side and Toure admits they will have to fight if they are to win their third Premier League title.

"At the moment, we are in not (in our best form) but we have to be able to deliver," he explained.

"City have always been a team who fight to the end to win a trophy and at the moment we are not happy with the position in the league. We have to fight.

"We are starting the second half of the season now and I think we will have to be almost perfect."
