Kolo Toure determined to prove quality at Liverpool

Liverpool defender Kolo Toure is determined to prove that he still has the ability to be one of the best defenders in the Premier League.

The Ivory Coast international secured a move to Anfield on a free transfer after his contract at Manchester City wasn't renewed at the end of last season.

Toure told the club's official website: "Liverpool have given me the chance to show that at 32 I'm still one of the best defenders, and I will fight for that.

"These past two years of being 'part-time' have helped me refresh and be more hungry. I want to try and help Liverpool win trophies this season."

The 32-year-old made just 18 appearances for City in all competitions last season.
