Following the Arab take-over in last Summer, Manchester City now seems to emerge as a new power of English Premier League. Going for star players with big-money offers is not a big deal for Manchester City anymore as its Arab owners are ready to make large amount deals. In fact, they already showed it by signing Brazilian forward Robinho from Real Madrid, breaking the British transfer record. Now, Arsenal defender Kolo Toure is one of their next big targets in the January transfer window. It has also been reported that Manchester City has plans to recruit 5 more players during the winter transfer window.
Mark Hughes wants to bolster his defense line up by adding Kolo Toure in the squad. Currently Micah Richards and Richard Dunne are the regular choices for Manchester City’s central defense positions. However, their performance has not been very impressive recently, even though they were excellent in their 3-0 triumph over Arsenal recently. Earlier, it was reported that Manchester City would make a £60 bid for Chelsea Captain John Terry, but now it seems to be unlikely to happen as they have already set their target at Toure. I guess, City’s Arab owners might have found Terry’s age too much to make a bid worth £60. Now, let us see if Manchester City can make a successful attempt to sign Arsenal defender Kolo Toure.
