Palace to be offered the chance to sign Yaya Toure

Crystal Palace and West Ham will both be offered the chance to sign Yaya Toure, according to reports.

The former Manchester City man is preparing for a Premier League return after being released by Olympiakos.

The Daily Mail now reports that his agent Dimitry Seluk is sounding out both Palace and West Ham, with Toure seeking a return to London specifically.

Toure returned to his former side Olympiakos over the summer following his departure from Manchester City and was released after just five games in what was a surprise exit.

The Ivorian has long been linked with a move to West Ham and rumours are likely to intensify given that Manuel Pellegrini is in charge of the Hammers.

Toure is a player that Pellegrini will know well from his time at Manchester City, with the Chilean arguably bringing the best out of the midfielder during his time at the club.

With Palace languishing near the bottom of the table, it remains to be seen if Toure is the sort of player they’ll be searching for in January.
