Yaya Toure is back in the first-team fold at Manchester City and he's also back on Manchester City's YouTube channel.

The Ivorian, who scored a brace in his first Premier League appearance of the season against Crystal Palace, was tasked with making his "Ultimate Footballer" using the traits and attributes of teammates past and presents.

Toure has played alongside some of the greatest players in football through his stints at Barcelona and current club Manchester City as well his exploits with the Ivory Coast national team and so had an array of talented players to choose from when it came down to certain skills.

When asked about vision, he mentioned Andres Iniesta and Xavi and ultimately went with the latter.

Leadership saw Toure opted for Barcelona skipper Puyol, who he referred to as "one of the best". As for stamina, Toure picked out an unknown commodity in Davy Theunis, who was a teammate when Yaya played for K.S.K Beveren. He dubbed him "unbelievable".

It was between current teammates Raheem Sterling and Jesus Navas for the "speed" category, where Toure founded difficulty singling out just one but eventually opted for the former.

His easiest pick was when asked about the best left-footed player when he obviously went for Lionel Messi, while Joe Hart and Didier Drogba got mentions for their passion and heading respectively.
