One of the key components of the spine of the Manchester City team that has established itself at the top of English football over the last 5 years, the Ivorian has been left out in the cold by new City boss Guardiola.

In recent years the powerhouse has been criticised because of his lack of defensive effort and tactical discipline.

A unique combination of power and grace blessed with a soft touch and sublime strike, Toure will be remembered as one of the finest players to have graced the Premier League. However, now in the twilight of his career, it appears that there is a possibility that the final act of the 33-year old’s career will not play out in a manner befitting of him.

While a move would certainly help him, his massive wage packet will almost certainly be a stumbling block.
