A statement on the Anfield club’s official website read: “Liverpool Football Club can today announce they have agreed a deal in principle with Kolo Toure to join the club on July 1.
“The powerful defender will be registered as a Reds player when his current deal with Manchester City expires.”
The future of centre-back Martin Skrtel remains in doubt after the Slovakia international lost his place to Carragher in the second half of the season. Comments from the player in his homeland over the weekend appeared to suggest a move was a possibility and with Sebastian Coates also likely to be moved on, Rodgers’ defence needs rebuilding. Toure arrives at Anfield with a wealth of experience having represented City and Arsenal in the Premier League after arriving in England 11 years ago.
During his four years with City he made over 100 appearances and tasted glory in the Premier League and FA Cup. The Ivory Coast international, who was signed by Arsene Wenger from ASEC Mimosas, made over 200 appearances for Arsenal, claiming the English Premier League title and two FA Cup winners’ medals. — Sky Sports
