Manchester City have today confirmed the signing of Arsenal centre-half Kolo Toure for an undisclosed fee. Toure joins former Arsenal striker Adebayor, along with Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry as the summer signings at the blues, and his agent Saif Rubie claims it's purely a football-related move.
"Kolo was very impressed with the chairman and the club as a whole. Anyone who knows Kolo knows that he gives 110% on the football pitch, and his hunger for the game is unquestionable. He finds it very hard to leave Arsenal, as it was like a second home to him and Arsene Wenger was the man who gave him a chance, but he now feels ready for the new challenge at Manchester City".
The news comes on the same day City confirm young full-back Nedum Onuoha agrees a new five-year deal with the club.
