Unsettled Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure revealed he was bitterly disappointed not to sign for Arsenal a couple of seasons ago, a move which would have seen him join brother Kolo in the red and white jersey.

The Ivory Coast International has been linked with the Gunners more than once in the last couple of seasons, but manager Arsene Wenger preferred to work on the development of Abou Diaby, Denilson and Alex Song.

Speaking of a possible move to North London, the 26-year old is quoted by Spanish publication Marca as saying:

I was disappointed and never understood why Wenger did not want to close the deal.

But one day I would like to play in the Premier League.
