Barcelona's Yaya Toure, linked to several Premier League clubs after failing to hold down a regular starting place at the Nou Camp this season has, whilst refusing to discuss his future, admitted his respect for Arsenal and Manchester United.

The brother of Manchester City and ex-Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has been the subject of much transfer speculation having made just four starts for Barcelona this season, despite signing a new contract with the Catalan giants over the summer.

Toure's agent has already dismissed a move to link up with his brother at Eastlands, insisting that bigger clubs are interested in the Ivorian.

Toure told skysports.com: "I am a Barcelona player."

But on the prospect of some of the sides in the frame to sign him, however, he added: "Arsenal, Inter Milan and Man United are all great teams with great managers."
