Toure close to new deal

The 34-year-old is keen to finish his career in England and wants to stay at Liverpool.

"I think the situation will be resolved soon. We are talking. There are few things more but we will see," he revealed.

"Liverpool is a great club for me to stay at. Liverpool is going to be massive.

"I love Premier League football and I played all my years here and if I can finish here (Liverpool) it would be great.

"My kids go to school here and they are half-English and that is important as well.

"I play for Liverpool right now and I am very happy and if it was to carry on, I'd be more than happy."

While Toure is looking to stay on at Anfield others will be leaving next month.

"It is not a great finish to the season and it is difficult to find words at the end of that.There are no words," Toure added.

"We were expecting a better result, for Liverpool Football Club and Stevie as well for what he has done. We wanted to do better for him.

"Why it finished like that we don't know. The talent is there."
