Liverpool defender Kolo Toure has revealed why he decided to snub a move to Turkey, in order to stay with Premier League runners-up, Liverpool.
The Ivorian international has said that he is ready to fight for his place in Liverpool’s defence next season, despite the arrival of Dejan Lovren from Southampton.
The center-half, who featured in 20 of Liverpool’s games last season, insists that Brendan Rodgers wants him to stay at Anfield.
Toure said: ‘I am still at Liverpool. I had talks with the coach who clearly indicated I am part of his plans.’
The 33 year old also commented on Trabzonspor’s interest: ‘Trabzonspor are interested in me, but I have expressed my pleasure at being a Liverpool player.’
