Toure ready for glory with City

Manchester City’s latest star signing, Kolo Toure, is backing his new club to put in a strong challenge for top honours in the Premier League this season.

The Ivorian striker joins a star studded cast at Manchester City that includes new signings Gareth Barry, Stuart Taylor, Roque Santa Cruz, Carlos Tevez and Emmanuel Adebayor.

“The target is to be as far as we can,” Toure told Sky Sports News. “Last season we were in the middle of the table. If we can make the top six or four that would be fantastic. We need to work for it.”

“The team want to progress and everything the club do is to make sure the club plays at the top of the league. That is a really good objective.”

“That is why I am here. The project is big. There are some great players here and we want to be near the top. It is going to be difficult and we will need to work at it.”

“They have a really great project and I want to do something. The future is big and it is a big challenge for me.”
