Manchester City defender Kolo Toure has insisted that he will stay and fight for his place at the club.

Toure is currently Roberto Mancini's fourth choice at centre-back behind Vincent Kompany, Joleon Lescott and Matija Nastasic, but he has revealed that he has no intention of leaving the club.

Toure told BBC Sport: "I want to stay. I want to fight for my place.

"It's difficult. I was a key player. I've done everything but that will not change the manager's decision."

The 31-year-old has scored two goals in 62 league appearances for the club since joining from Arsenal in 2009.
