KOLO TOURE is set to be named the new captain of Manchester City.
Current skipper Richard Dunne is on his way out of the club following the arrival of Everton defender Joleon Lescott.
Boss Mark Hughes is set to hand the armband to the former Arsenal centre-back, who moved to Eastlands for £14million last month.
Gareth Barry will fill in when Ivory Coast star Toure is missing in the New Year at the African Nations Cup.
Lescott completed a £24m move yesterday and has signed a five-year deal.
He could make his debut at Portsmouth on Sunday.
Hughes added: "I am delighted. I feel we have recruited a defender of the very highest quality."

Yeah but isn't Dunne rumoured to be leaving? If he does, we will need a new captain.
