The Ivory Coast international has been linked with a move to Arsenal since the end of last season and has previously revealed that Gunners coach Arsene Wenger and his brother Kolo have tried to persuade him to join the north London outfit.

Last week Toure's agent announced Juventus were also in the running to sign his client during the January transfer window.

But Toure is adamant he has no intention of quitting Barca and has vowed to stay and fight for his place.

"I'm calm (about these rumours) because I'm very happy here and my family are too," he told El Mundo Deportivo.

"I'm happy to be playing here, because my objective is to be in a big club and that's what Barcelona is. I don't want to leave here.

"I'm very happy being in this club and playing in this shirt is amazing."

The former Monaco midfielder also moved to distance himself from his agent's comments.

He said: "My agent said something, but I was with my national team and for me the most important thing is hard work.

"What he says is not my problem, my problems are on the pitch because I have to win a title with FC Barcelona."

Rumours of Toure's unrest have resurfaced primarily because of the lack of time the player has spent in the Barca starting XI this season.

The emergence of Sergio Busquets, as well as the signing of Seydou Keita, has meant Toure has had less time on the pitch this term than last.

However, the 25-year-old insists he has no problems with coach Pep Guardiola and believes his time in the side will come.

"I think the coach is doing his job well," he said.

"There are a lot of top-level players. We're a top side which plays good football. There are some very young and very important players, like Bojan (Krkic) and Busquets. We have an excellent team and we can win all the competitions we are in.

"I've spoken to him (Guardiola) and he tells me he has faith in me. I'm a professional, like all the quality players at Barca and in the youth team.

"The important thing is to work hard on the pitch and in training to play as much as possible."
