Manchester City ace: I want to play with this Liverpool star
YAYA TOURE is clearly a big fan of Liverpool star Philippe Coutinho.
Philippe Coutinho's best goals for Liverpool
The Brazilian has been one of the standout performers for Liverpool this season under Jurgen Klopp, netting six goals in all competitions.
His performances were rewarded last month when he agreed a new long-term deal with the Merseyside outfit, committing his future with the club until 2022.
And Manchester City star Toure admits he would love to play alongside Coutinho and Barcelona star Neymar.

Would I like to be Brazilian? Playing with Neymar, playing with Philippe Coutinho, I want to play with them.
"Would I like to be Brazilian? Playing with Neymar, playing with Philippe Coutinho, I want to play with them." Toure told GloboEsporte.
"Maybe I would have to change my passport, and we will see!"
Toure endured a difficult start to the season under Pep Guardiola as the Spaniard refused to play him due to a fallout involving the Ivorian's agent.

But the rift has since been put to bed and Toure has been involved in Guardiola's plans.
Toure was on the losing side when City lost to Liverpool on New Year's Eve at Anfield earlier this season.
But the 33-year-old will have the chance to put things right against Coutinho's Liverpool when his side welcome the Reds to the Etihad on March 19.
