Kolo: I would love brother Yaya to join me at City

Manchester City captain Kolo Toure says he would like to see brother Yaya join him at Eastlands after admitting the Barcelona midfielder is unhappy at the Nou Camp.

Yaya Toure is not totally happy in Spain.

While Kolo has made a name for himself in the Premier League, Yaya has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea in the past but has, instead, forged a successful career with European champions Barcelona since 2007.
Yaya is now unsettled in Spain as boss Pep Guardiola prefers Sergi Busquets for the holding role and asked if he would like to see City buy his younger brother, Kolo told The Manchester Evening News: "I hope so. He is a good player, and if he could come to our team that would be great.
"He has had a few hard times in Barcelona. He doesn't play a lot, and he loves football and loves to play. If he can come, especially to a club in England, he would be really happy because the Premier League is a fantastic place to play football."
And Kolo believes his versatile sibling - who can also operate at centre back, like he did in the UEFA Champions League final win over Manchester United last term - would assist the Blues' quest for a top-four finish.
"Technically he is very good and can hold up the ball, and is a great passer with great vision," the 28-year-old said. "He also has a great desire to win."
