Ivory Coast and Manchester City
football star, Yaya Toure and his agent, Dimitri Seluk, have agreed to donate
£100 000 to help victims of Monday's suicide bomb attack in Manchester.
Toure,
alongside several football stars on Tuesday took to their social media pages to mourn
the victims who died in the blast. They all poured out their condolences and
hearting messages to the family and friends of the victims.
22 people, including many children,
were killed and dozens more were injured after a bombing attack happened at
Ariana Grande concert at the Manchester Arena.
While speaking to Sky Sports News, Seluk
said:
'The news an eight-year-old girl
went to see her favourite singer and didn't return home is too much to bear. My
son is eight years old and I can't image the pain and the suffering that the
parents of Saffie will be going through today.
'Yaya and I want to help. We talked
this morning about what happened and he asked me what he thought we could do.
'We have agreed to donate £50,000
each to help the victims of this terrible crime. It doesn't matter whether the
victims are from Manchester or not.
'Yaya is from Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory
Coast), I am Russian. It doesn't matter. Today is a chance for those of us in
football to help out.'
