Gunners linked with Toure swap
Arsenal, 17:14, June 8, 2009 ,
Arsenal are lining up a swoop for Manchester City defender Micah Richards and could be ready to offer Kolo Toure in part exchange.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is looking to rebuild his defence this summer and has targeted a move for Richards, who could be on his way out of Eastlands.
City chief Mark Hughes is reported to be unhappy with the player's attitude and will allow him to move on if a rival club come in and offer a fee in the region of £6million.
Wenger will not offer that much but could throw long-term City target Toure in as part of the deal. Toure almost joined City back in January and now he has just 12 months left on his current deal, Wenger is happy to use him as bait to land Richards.
