Yaya Toure is so keen to stay in the Premier League he's offered a money-back guarantee to any team willing to sign him this summer.
The 34-year-old is leaving Manchester City when his contract expires at the end of the season, and the Ivorian is keen to stay and prove he’s still a premier League player.
Toure has won three Premier League titles, but has played just 16 times this season as he ends his career at City winds down, but he is determined to remain in the Premier League.
Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk says that his man is so confident of his ability that he will offer his new club a refund of his wages if they aren’t happy with his performances.
"Yaya is fit and desperate to prove he's still the best central midfielder in the Premier League,” Seluk told Sky Sports News.

"He's happy to accept a one-year deal to stay in England.
“And if his club are not satisfied with his performances, he will pay back half his wages, or the club can cancel his contract immediately, with no compensation."
Toure has long been linked with a move to Major League Soccer in America, but Everton are now the 3/1 favourites to land him this summer.
Newly-promoted Wolves have lofty ambitions and plenty of money in the bank and that could be an interesting move for both club and player.
Pep Guardiola has backed Toure to carrying on playing in the Premier League, and would be happy to see him return to the Etihad as a visiting player.
"He has a huge personality, he doesn't feel the pressure," said Guardiola. "He loves to play football.
"Nothing changes about my opinion of him. We don't have complaints about what happened this season.
"Hopefully he will keep playing well and comeback maybe here or some other place. I think he still has the desire to play. My advice is he has to continue."
