Inter Milan boss Roberto Mancini has again talked up his admiration for Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure. Toure is being linked with the Nerazzurri.

"Toure? We're talking about a great player, but he belongs to City, we'll see what will happen.

"It's possible, but there are others."

"What did I say when I wished him a Happy Birthday?" Mancini laughed.

"I wrote in English, I won't say what. It's a private thing."
