Fernando: 'I've always admired Yaya Toure'

By , Reporter
Manchester City midfielder Fernando says that he has always admired Yaya Toure.

Manchester City midfielder Fernando has revealed that the player he looks up to most is Yaya Toure.

The Brazilian joined the Premier League champions in June for a fee of £12m from Porto and will be vying with Toure for a place in the club's midfield.

"I've always admired Yaya," he told the Manchester Evening News. "But the team is made up of great players.

"When I was growing up my favourite players were Gilberto Silva and Mauro Silva, but now it is Yaya."

Fernando has played three times for the Brazil Under-20 side, but he is yet to make an appearance for the senior side.
