Kolo Toure wanted in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal are reportedly eager to sign Kolo Toure from Manchester City this summer.

The Ivory Coast international is believed to have been deemed surplus to requirements by City boss Roberto Mancini, who is said to be looking to sign a replacement for the 31-year-old in the near future.

That has alerted Al Hilal, who lined up against City during a pre-season friendly earlier this month.

Al Hilal officials are confident of luring the centre-back, who has 12 months remaining on his City contract, according to Sky Sports News.

Toure joined the Citizens from Arsenal in 2009.
