Anzhi have made a move for Manchester City defender Kolo Toure.

The Mirror says the Russian outfit have made it clear they want to take the Manchester City star on loan with an option to buy in the summer.

Having lost another of their targets, Chelsea defender Alex, to PSG Anzhi want to tie up a deal before the Russian transfer window closes on February 24.

But Mancini is keen to hold on to Toure, having seen his side crash out of the Carling and FA Cups and struggle to keep clean sheets in the League.
