Gnegneri Toure Yaya Biography

The younger brother of fellow Manchester City player Kolo Toure, Yaya joined the Blues in July 2010 from Barcelona.

Since arriving at Eastlands he has proved immensely popular for his ability to transform play with his surging runs forward that place the opposition under immense pressure.

He made his Premier League debut against Tottenham on the opening day of the 2010-11 season and he was a near ever-present during the campaign.

In April he scored City’s first goal at the new Wembley to bring victory in the FA Cup semi-final against Manchester United, while a month later he surpassed this with a 75th minute strike against Stoke to win the trophy for the Blues.

Yaya has won over 50 caps for the Ivory Coast and was a member of the squad for the 2010 World Cup finals.
