Wenger explains Toure's transfer request

Manager Arsène Wenger has assured Arsenal fans over news reports the defender Kolo Touré had handed in a transfer request to the club.

Wenger says that he spoke to the Ivory Coast international about his request and Touré withdrew his request after.

He said: "The situation is that he is a player who has a two-and–a-half year contract and will remain with us.

"I am happy with players who are committed and Kolo is a big example for that. There was a minor incident that you could multiply by 20.

"It happens every day in every club and is sorted out now. Kolo is happy here."
