West Ham manager Manuel Pellegrini has claimed that he turned down the opportunity to sign former Manchester City and Barcelona star Yaya Toure.
The Hammers brought in many new signings during the summer transfer window as they look to gain a strong finish on the top half of the standings this season.
Things have so far gone according to plan as they have so far lost all three of their Premier League games played so far.
The midfield is one of the areas of concern for the Hammers.
The options which Pellegrini has at his disposal are Jack Wilshere, Carlos Sanchez, Mark Noble, Pedro Obiang and Declan Rice.
