Toure’s agent calls on Manchester City fans to bring cake to Leicester match

Yaya Toure’s agent has called on Manchester City fans to bring cakes to the Etihad for Saturday’s game with Leicester.

Toure turns 34 on Saturday and his agent Dimitri Seluk is keen for City fans to mark what is likely to be his final season at the club by celebrating the Ivoirian’s birthday.

Back in 2014 Seluk prompted fears that Toure could leave City due to a lack of appreciation, citing the failure to give a midfielder a birthday cake as proof of his mistreatment.

Pep Guardiola left Toure out of his matchday squads earlier this season after another spat, and is yet to hand the player a contract at the Etihad beyond the summer.

Seluk said: “The City fans should all bring cakes to the game to show Yaya how much they love him.

“It looks like this will be Yaya’s final season with City and I think he deserves a special goodbye from the people of Manchester.

“What happened three years ago was a joke that was misunderstood. I think everybody will be able to laugh about it if supporters gave him a cake for this birthday.

“Yaya loves City and he loves the fans. When he came, City could only dream about winning the Premier League and playing in the Champions League – and he has made those dreams come true.”
