Toure: Man City would be strengthened with addition of Arsenal's van Persie

Kolo Toure says his former Arsenal team-mate Robin van Persie would boost Manchester City's chances of winning silverware if the Dutchman moved to the Premier League champions. The Holland international announced on Wednesday he would not be extending his contract, which has a year to run, with the Gunners.

"Robin is a top player. I've played with him, I know him and he's a great man," the centre-back told the Manchester Evening News.

"At City we have great players and the club does what it wants in transfers.

"But for me, if Robin comes it's great because I know what he can do.

"You have to build your squad every year to do better; to win the Champions League is very difficult as we have seen."
