Toure signs for Man City
Toure signs for Man City
Kolo Toure has ended his love affair with Arsenal after making a move north to join Man City on a four year contract for a fee believed to be in the region of about £16 million. Now City are turning their attentions to other defenders, such as Joleon Lescott.
The Gunners defender had spent 7 years at the club, and many Arsenal fans will be sad to see the 28 year old go.
But the £16 million received represents great value for Arsenal, who paid only £250k for the Ivory Coast international from ASEC back in 2002.
Kolo links up with his former Arsenal team mate Emmanuel Adebayor at the club, and will earn a reported £120,000 per week.
