Confirmed: Arsenal chasing Toure

Yaya Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk, has admitted that his client is very much a target for Arsenal and could well be used as a makeweight in part of a deal that will take Cesc Fabregas back to Barcelona.

"There's a lot of interest in the deal (for Toure)," Seluk told Rac-1. "Arsene Wenger likes him and Arsenal are interested.

"If the conditions are good, everything can be finished soon.

"He could come into the Cesc deal and Barca and Arsenal are struggling to come to an agreement.

"Everything has changed with City, because they talk a lot but then afterwards they don't appear to be a rich club but rather a bankrupt one."
