Toure, appeared destined to leave City after being frozen out by Pep Guardiola earlier in the season. But the Ivory Coast midfielder has enjoyed a remarkable renaissance in the space of just six weeks.
The former Barcelona star delivered his latest impressive display as City overcame Hull 3-0 at the KCOM Stadium on Boxing Day to stay in touch with leaders Chelsea.

"I'm used to winning Premier Leagues, and I want to win another. I know it's going to be tough but we have to keep going because Chelsea are very good this year."
