Kolo Toure has signed a four year deal with Manchester City and is the second Arsenal player in a week to move from the Emirates Stadium to Eastlands.
The deal is believed to be for ?14million and new manager Mark Hughes pronounced himself “delighted” with his new acquisition.
Quoted on the official Manchester City website, Toure himself said :
“It is always difficult to leave a place where you have spent the last eight years and had good times but I felt the time was right for a new challenge and I am still at an age where I feel I am at my peak and will play my best football.”
“For me it was time to move but only for the right club and I feel that Manchester City is that club. The ambition here is clear to see and is big. Everyone knows this club is moving and that is really, really important.
“I still want to achieve things and I feel as though I can bring something to City and that is what I will be striving to do. It is not just about quality on the pitch it is about blending as a team and with my experience I think I can help City do just that.”
