Arsenal defender Kolo Toure has two brothers who are professional football players. His youngest brother, Ibrahim, plays his trade in the Ivory Coast while Yaya Toure plays as a holding midfielder for Barcelona.
According to News of the World, Arsene Wenger now wants to add Barcelona’s Toure to his own troops as he is still seeking a replacement for Mathieu Flamini - who has left for AC Milan this summer.
Barcelona would be willing to let Toure go for a reasonable price - in this case ‘reasonable’ is not defined by the English tabloid - as new arrival Keita is Guardiola’s preferred choice for the holding midfield position.
Should The Gunners complete a deal for Yaya, they will rue not signing him when they had the opportunity before he joined the Spanish giants. The Ivory Coast midfielder will surely be costly for Wenger.

Both brothers can work together at Arsenal so no reasonable fan will be against the signin of such an experienced player
that would be a good signing and not to mention to see the brothers play together
alonso, barry, cambiasso, diarra of real madrid, pirlo, javi martinez, maresca are one of the players AW should bring in if he is serious in the race of championship, both EPL or CL.
im not saying inler, yaya toure or veloso are not good, but those men above are proven to be the champion. they are fighters. however, im not AW n i respect whatever decision he makes. but as an Arsenal fan, i’m a bit disappointed with his slow signings n tend to be “so very careful” with money management.
I think bringing in yahya toure will fill the vacuum left by flamini after he finally signed for milan.yahya is one of the best midfielders in world and i think he really proved that against man-utd in champions league
