Man City chasing Toure

Manchester City boss Mark Hughes is keen on signing Arsenal defender Kolo Toure in the January transfer window.

Reports suggest Hughes is ready to spend £10million on the highly rated Ivory Coast international.

A City source told the Sun: “Kolo has been completely marginalised by Arsene Wenger this season.

“Mark has made no secret he rates Kolo very highly and strengthening his defence is his main priority.

“City have been linked with a number of players but Kolo is Mark’s prime target and he hopes a deal can be done quickly if the clubs agree a fee.”

The 27-year-old has fallen out of favour at Arsenal, following 300 appearances for the club.

Manchester City have also been linked with moves for Roque Santa Cruz, Kaka and Gianluigi Buffon in recent weeks.
