Kolo Toure could be playing alongside brother Yaya
at Arsenal next season with Barcelona keen to include him in their
deal to sign Alex Hleb.
Hleb is already thought to have agreed terms for his move
to the Nou Camp and Barcelona officials are now deep in talks with
Arsenal to decide on a fee for the 27-year-old.
The Gunners value the Belarus midfielder at around the
£15million mark but Barca are keen on a player-push-cash deal and
have offered Wenger the chance to team up the Toure brothers at
Emirates Stadium, according to the Daily Star.
Wenger is in the market for a defensive midfielder following
Mathieu Flamini's switch to AC Milan and has long been inked with a
move for the younger Toure brother.
The Frenchman actually passed up the opportunity to sign Yaya
after taking him on trial three years ago, but the 25-year-old has
had an impressive season with Barca and Wenger is keen to get him
on board.
And the player himself would jump at the chance of a move with
new Catalans boss Josep Guardiola signing Sevilla's Seydou Keita to
play in his role.
Yaya said previously: "I am conscious of interest from certain
Premier League clubs.
"I can't say anything for the moment, but it's true that it
would be great to play for a big club with my brother. That would
be fantastic, but you never know."
