ARSENE WENGER'S long chase for Kolo Toure's brother Yaya is set to reach a happy conclusion for Arsenal.

Barcelona's defensive midfield ace, 25, is heading for The Emirates in the summer. The fee for the Ivory Coast player is thought to have been agreed at around £12million.

His arrival will solve a long-standing problem for Gunners boss Wenger as well as bringing great delight to the two brothers.

Yaya, who had a trial with Arsenal at the start of the 2005 season, has admitted in the past: "It would be great to play in the Premier League and to team up with my brother would be just fantastic."
