West Ham rule out Yaya Toure offer as Pellegrini plans Oxford stay

Yaya Toure will not be offered a deal by West Ham, with Manuel Pellegrini considering his squad to be “complete” without bringing the former Barcelona and Manchester City star on board.

The 35-year-old midfielder is currently a free agent after being released by the reigning Premier League champions.

An extended stay in English football has been mooted for the Ivorian, with his agent, Dimitri Seluk, claiming that Toure would happily join an ambitious side “with a salary of £1 per week” – such is his desire to get one over on former boss Pep Guardiola.
