"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\n\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;May 28 (Reuters) -- Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Manchester City's Kolo Toure with the defender poised to sign on July 1 when his contract finishes at the 2012 Premier League champions, the Merseyside club said on Tuesday.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Toure, 32, has played in the Premier League since 2002 and enjoyed a successful spell at Arsenal before joining City in 2009.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"Liverpool Football Club can today announce they have agreed a deal in principle with Kolo Toure to join the club on July 1,\" the club said in a statement on their website (www.liverpoolfc.com).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Ivory Coast international had become a bit-part player in his final season at the Etihad Stadium, playing only 15 times in City's failed effort to defend their Premier League title.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will add experience to Liverpool's defensive ranks following the retirement of club stalwart Jamie Carragher at the end of last season. &lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
