BARCELONA'S Yaya Toure has issued a come and get me plea to Arsenal after admitted he would love to play alongside his brother Kolo at Arsenal.

The former Gunners trialist, who had a brief spell with the north London outfit in 2002 didn't impress Arsene Wenger sufficiently that time - but following stints with Beveren, Metalurg Donetsk Olympiakos, Monaco and Barca - the 25-year-old is now a possible target to replace the Milan-bound Mathieu Flamini.

"I am aware of the interest from the Premier League," Toure told skysports.com.

"But I can't say anything yet - however it would be great to play in a big team with my brother, it would be fantastic but you never know."
