Man City close to netting Arsenal`s Kolo for 14 million pounds

London: Manchester City are believed to be close to signing Ivory Coast center-half Kolo Toure for 14 million pounds.Toure currently plays for Arsenal and will be City`s next big signing after Emmanuel Adebayor was secured from the Gunners for 25 million pounds.

Should Toure leave, Arsenal`s chances of making it to the last four in the Premier League could go up in smoke. An adviser of Arsenal shareholder Alisher Usmanov said that the club`s lack of new signings could damage their hopes of also making the Champions League. Farhad Moshiri, an associate of billionaire Russian Usmanov said: "There is no question that Arsene Wenger has a talented squad but there have been limited additions and you cannot help but feel that there is still not enough depth to that squad."
