Dimitri Seluk: Last News

Manchester City hero Yaya Toure turns 39 today, and the greater footballing world will be hoping that the big day is marked with a cake.The midfielder enjoyed a terrific spell at the Etihad Stadium and wrote himself into the club’s history books during his eight-year spell at the club. The Ivorian won the Premier League three times with City, as well as the FA Cup and the Football League Cup twice.But Toure’s time at City ended on somewhat of a sour note, all stemming from him not receiving a birthday cake on his special day in 2014. Just a few days after City had lifted the league trophy, Toure’s agent Dimitri Seluk criticised the club for not properly celebrating his client’s 31st birthday, stating that the pair had to consider a move in the summer transfer window as a result.Having initially denied having a role to play in Seluk’s outburst, Toure then changed his tune by tweeting: “Everything Dimitri said is true.

The regret normally associated with birthday cakes is when you greedily stuff your face with too much of it. But in Yaya Toure's case, it came when he didn't get enough.

In Manchester City’s storied history stretching back over 140 years, there have been some epic arguments, upsets and feuds.
