Kolo urges Wenger to sign Yaya
Kolo Toure has urged Arsene Wenger to pull out all the stops to sign his brother Yaya.
Kolo Toure has urged Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to pull out all the stops to sign his brother Yaya in the summer.Yaya Toure has earned rave reviews in Olympiakos' engine room this term and is being tipped to secure a move to a major European league this summer.
Juventus are believed to be keen on the Ivory Coast man, but Kolo Toure has urged Wenger to move for a man he feels can fill the sizeable boots of Patrick Vieira in North London.
"He has great ability," Kolo Toure told Sky Sports News. "When I watch him he looks like Patrick. He is a tall player, has great ability and he can help the club.
"He is a better player [than me], he is a midfielder and has great ability. He is fantastic.
"It would be fantastic, my brother and me."
Arsenal's London rivals Chelsea could also be in the frame, with Blues striker Didier Drogba a huge fan of his compatriot.
"He is a fantastic player," admitted Drogba. "He can run, jump and win all the ball in the midfield and also score.
"When he runs he looks like Patrick Vieira. If he comes, everybody will love him."
