Barca ace no to EPL and other red-hot gossip

Arsenal and Manchester City target Yaya Toure has ruled out a move to the EPL, insisting he is settled at Barcelona. The brother of City defender Kolo has long been linked with a move to England. However his fortunes have changed at the Nou Camp and he is now playing more regularly. Elsewhere, Manchester United legend Roy Keane, who is now in charge of Ipswich, has admitted he would rather throw punches than tea cups at underperforming players; Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich has sanctioned a £50m bid for Liverpool striker Fernando Torres; Real Madrid goalkeeper Iker Casillas could be one of the new arrivals at Chelsea having fallen out of favour with the Bernabeu hierarchy; and Tottenham striker Roman Pavlyuchenko wants to help Spurs secure a Champions League place but may still leave the club.
