Yaya said no to Gunners switch
-
Barcelona star Yaya Toure has claimed that he turned down a potential move to Arsenal over the summer, telling Arsene Wenger and his brother Kolo he was not willing to leave Barcelona.
The Gunners were widely linked with the Ivory Coast international after losing Mathieu Flamini to Milan on a free transfer and Yaya has now confirmed that the North London side were indeed interested in bringing him to Emirates Stadium.
However, when apparently contacted by the Gunners manager and his brother, the defensive midfielder instructed them he was not ready to leave Camp Nou after just one season with Barca.
“Wenger, as well as my brother told me to join Arsenal during the summer, but I answered them that I was happy at Barcelona," Toure told RAC-1.
