Kolo Toure says that he has not been offered a new deal at Manchester City and is now considering his future.

Manchester City centre-back Kolo Toure has revealed that he is likely to leave the club at the season but said that he wants to stay in the Premier League.

The 32-year-old has found first-team football at the Etihad hard to come by of late, with Vincent Kompany, Matija Nastasic and Joleon Lescott seemingly ahead of him in the pecking order.

Kompany, whose contract expires at the end of the season, said that he is comfortable in Manchester, but stated that he is yet to be offered a new deal.

"I have been here for nearly four years, and two fantastic years when I have been playing a lot and I hear my songs with Yaya [Toure]," the Ivorian told Sky Sports News.

"My family is here, my kids are at school and they like the area, but in two months nothing has come from the club and I am thinking about my future definitely.

"My first choice is this country, as I like English football - that is why I began playing football. After Ivory Coast I came here, I don't know any other culture and it is important for me to stay here, I have been here for 10 years."

Toure joined the Citizens from Arsenal for £16m in 2009.
