'Slide tackling Wenger changed my career' - Foul on manager earned me Arsenal move, says Toure

Former Arsenal star Kolo Toure has revealed how a slide tackle on Gunners manager Arsene Wenger changed his career – for the better.

Toure was an unknown when he traded ASEC Mimosas for Arsenal in 2002, but that £150,000 switch altered the course of his career.

He would go on to turn out for Arsenal, Manchester City and Celtic in a professional career that lasted 15 years.
