For a number of weeks, there has been an abundance of speculation regarding the prospect of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure making the move stateside and joining New York City FC.
Jeff Rueter — a contributor to both The Guardian and ESPN FC — is now reporting that NYCFC are already in preliminary talks to bring the Ivorian box-to-box legend to the South Bronx, though it remains to be seen whether or not the move would occur in January during the MLS offseason or at some point during the summer transfer window, midway through next season.
