Liverpool bolster defence with Toure signing

Liverpool have agreed a deal in principle to sign Manchester City defender Kolo Toure.

The centre-back will be registered as a Reds player when his current contract at the Etihad Stadium expires in the coming weeks and he will officially join the club on July 1.

Manager Brendan Rodgers has turned to the 32-year-old in order to add some experience to his back four following the retirement of veteran Jamie Carragher.
