Big-spending City signs Barca's Toure

MANCHESTER City flexed its financial muscle again yesterday when it signed Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure on a five-year deal.

No financial details were disclosed of the 27-year-old's move, which comes two days after the capture of Valencia winger David Silva. Toure, who played for the Ivory Coast in the World Cup where it was eliminated in the group stage, joins his brother Kolo in Roberto Mancini's Eastlands squad, and will take a holiday before joining City's preseason tour of the United States. Toure joined Barcelona from Monaco in 2007 and was part of the Catalan club's Champions League-winning side of 2009.
