Chelsea set to test Manchester City's resolve with bid for Yaya Toure
CHELSEA look poised to make a swoop for Manchester City's Yaya Toure in the summer.
The Ivorian's future has been awash with speculation in recent weeks, with Toure believed to be giving City an ultimatum over his future.
The Express Online reported last week that PSG have been identified as a potential suitor for Toure even though Roberto Mancini forsees him staying at the club for a long time.
It seems the offers are set to flood in for the midfield powerhouse when the transfer window opens, with Chelsea ready to declare their intent.
Reports in Spain suggest Real Madrid could be a possible destination, but Chelsea could be in the frame too as Toure's contract talks have reached an impasse.
The Citizens are expecting an exodus of players to leave in the summer, including Carlos Tevez, Edin Dzeko and Joleon Lescott.
Toure helped City to a 4-0 win over Newcastle at the weekend, but his side's hopes of defending the title are all but over.
He has netted five times in the Premier League so far this season.
