Manchester City have opened talks to sign AS Roma midfielder Manu Koné. The club’s interest comes following Arsenal completed personal terms with the 23‑year‑old Frenchman. Arsenal’s agreement was reported to be final before City’s approach. French legend Patrick Vieira said Koné is the best midfielder in France today and likened his abilities to Aurelien Tchouameni. City’s move follows a recent record deal for Elliot Anderson. Both English clubs are expected to negotiate with Roma for the player’s transfer fee. The situation develops as the summer window nears its close.
