Kolo Toure has signed a four-year deal with Manchester City after sealing his £15million switch from Arsenal.
The 28-year-old is believed to have agreed a £120,000-a-week deal deal after Arsene Wenger confirmed Sportsmail's exclusive story that the Ivorian is the latest big name player to leave the club this summer joining Emmanuel Adebayor.
Toure played for Arsenal on Monday night in a pre-season friendly in Hungary. The move would take City boss Mark Hughes' spending close to the £100m mark.
But the spree will not stop there, with Everton defender Joleon Lescott and West Ham's Matthew Upson also in their sights, while reports in France link them to Roma's Philippe Mexes.
Arsenal by contrast have made just one signing, central defender Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax, and have also sold Emmanuel Adebayor to City for £25m.
Wenger hinted that he will make more signings before the transfer window closes.
'I am more focused on getting everybody fit for the start of the season but we are looking at opportunities as well,' he said.
'There are still some pre-season games to see what we really need. When the time comes we will do something.'
Toure becomes the latest big name to sign for City after Adebayor, Carlos Tevez, Roque Santa Cruz and Gareth Barry.
They will now look to challenge Arsenal for a place in the Barclays Premier League's top four.
