Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers says the club are targeting players who will strengthen their starting line-up.
Toure, one of Rodgers' summer signings, hopes he can play a major part in helping the club regain its Champions League status. "It has been a tough time but this season is going to be a great season for Liverpool, he said. "To be part of the team who can bring the club back to the Champions League would be amazing. That's what I'm looking for. "I would like to be remembered as someone who did very well and that is why I am here. "At the moment Liverpool are not in the top four but they have the history, the quality, the players and the mentality as well. "This club is a winning club and I want to be part of history here, that's why I came - to try to build the team as far as we can, to be top four or to win a trophy. "We just want to win trophies and want to play in the Champions League as well. "There are a lot of good teams out there but with the squad we've got, we have great players and a great mentality here, we can do very well this season." Fellow new signing Simon Mignolet is also confident the club can make the top four again. His first task may be to displace Jose Reina as first-choice goalkeeper but he knows the bigger picture is to regain Champions League status. "For me it's a big step forward. I spoke to the manager and he told me that it's going to be a big step forward," said the former Sunderland goalkeeper. "There's big ambition around the club. I also noticed that from the conversations I had with the goalkeeping coach and the gaffer. "I saw that they are very ambitious, want to get forward, winning trophies and getting into the top four."
