Manuel Pellegrini is the clear front-runner for the vacant managerial post at West Ham following the departure of David Moyes in the past week.
According to the Telegraph, the Chilean boss has arrived in England to stage negotiations with the top brass at West Ham following his exit from Hebei China Fortune on Saturday.
Pellegrini is sure to make big changes if he takes charge at the London Stadium and some of his former players from his days at Manchester City have been linked, including Yaya Toure.
It’s claimed by the Telegraph that Pellegrini’s arrival in East London could prompt the Hammers to reignite their interest in the Ivorian midfielder, who is now a free agent after seeing his contract at City expire.
Toure is 35-years-old but appears to still have something to offer at this level, with Pellegrini seemingly expected to make a move for the player, who he enjoyed plenty of success with.
The former Barcelona and Arsenal midfielder will likely have exceedingly high wages, however, but is understood to be keen on a stay in the Premier League.
