Manchester City's latest big-name signing Yaya Toure is convinced the club are poised to join the European elite. City today stepped up their latest summer spending spree by signing Toure from Barcelona on a five-year deal. The 28-year-old, who joins his brother Kolo at Eastlands, won the Champions League with Barca in 2009 and believes City will soon be contesting that same title. Toure said: "I'm very happy to sign for Manchester City. "I love the Premier League and I watch it all the time and City did very well to finish fifth, but I hope we can improve on that by qualifying for the Champions League. "This is a big club and that has to be our first objective and then we have to look at winning championships as well."
