West Ham are in talks to sign Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure, according to the Mail.
Toure will be a free agent this summer after City decided to release him and it looks like he could be about to reunite with Manuel Pellegrini at the London Stadium.
Toure had the best season of his City career under Pellegrini back in 2013/14, where he scored 20 goals as they won the Premier League title.
Toure is said to be keen to work with Pellegrini again, but West Ham will need him to take a dramatic pay cut.
The Ivorian star was picking up over £220,000-a-week at City and there is no chance of West Ham paying him anything remotely close to that amount, but the Hammers are said to be confident in being able to come to an agreement.
Toure, who will play in a charity game for Soccer Aid this weekend, was offered to the league’s top six clubs by his agent, who said he’d be willing to play for them for just £1 a week plus bonuses, but it’s doubtful that he’ll be on such a deal at West Ham!
