#4 Pellegrini on Yaya Toure

Manuel Pellegrini has spoken of the possibility of West Ham signing Yaya Toure. The former Manchester City manager worked with the Ivorian during their time at the Etihad and has revealed that he has spoken to him.
Pellegrini believes that Toure is a great player and gives it his all on the pitch.
“I spoke with Yaya at the beginning of the season. Yaya is a great player, a top player that plays in every part of the role,” Pellegrini said.
However, he refused to add further information, stating that he is focused more on the next game and will talk about transfers only after the final weeks of December. He also added that midfield is a position they have a lot of players in, which is why it is not a priority.
“I don’t know what happened with him in Greece. But in this moment we are just thinking about the next game that we are going to play and I don’t want to talk until the end of December about the window and which players that we need.
“At this moment, I cannot answer your question. It’s not a priority as in that position we already have players.”
