Henry, Messi & Drogba - Yaya Toure picks his ultimate XI & includes six forwards!

The Ivorian picked his dream XI from players he played with at Manchester City, Barcelona and with the Ivory Coast

Yaya Toure opted for no fewer than five strikers in a seriously top-heavy formation as he selected his ultimate team-mate XI.

Comprising players from his time at Manchester City, Barcelona and with the Ivory Coast, Toure picked a side featuring an attacking sextet and just a single player shielding an exposed back three.

Lionel Messi features, unsurprisingly, in a role behind an advanced strike partnership of Didier Drogba and Samuel Eto’o.

Thierry Henry plays on the left wing, the position he began his career in as a youngster at Monaco and Juventus before former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger switched him to centre-forward.
