Top 20 Greatest Premier League players
20 Yaya TouréManchester City winning two league titles, it is only right that at least one of their players makes the list of the 20 greatest English Premier League players.
Vincent Kompany, David Silva and Sergio Aguero came close, but it is Yaya Touré who ultimately comes out on top. The Ivorian powerhouse, lethargic at times, is a complete player who, at his best, drives Man City on to victory.
He joined the Citizens from Barcelona in 2010, and has since won five trophies, taking his career club total to 14.
He was African Footballer of the Year four times and has more than 100 caps for his country.
In his sixth season in the Barclays Premier League, Toure has played 177 games and scored 53 goals in England's top-flight competition.
The offensive midfielder was at his best in 2014 when he scored 20 goals, spearheading City to their fourth title and becoming the third leading scorer that season, after Liverpool duo Luis Suarez (31 goals) and Daniel Sturridge (21 goals).
