Gunners could get Tou of a kind
-
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."
