Yaya Toure's agent claims his client will be playing in England next season, with a deal already agreed.
The Barcelona midfielder's representative has refused to state with which club an agreement has been struck, but the Ivorian has been strongly linked with Manchester City of late.
The Blues, who already boast Toure's brother Kolo on their books, are believed to be leading the race for his signature, keen to add some much-needed steel in the centre of the park.
The Barca ace has, however, attracted interest from Manchester United and Arsenal in the past, so it is far from certain that he will be turning out at Eastlands next season.
"If everything goes well, Yaya will go to England," Toure's agent, Dimitri Seluk, told Ona FM.
"But we can't talk about definite clubs. We already have a closed deal, and all will be resolved before the World Cup."
Toure joined Barca from Monaco in 2007 and quickly became an integral part of their side, patrolling the area in front of the back four.

So, Manchester United, Arsenal or Chelsea, where do you guys think he is headed to? Fergie does not want to sign top players anymore and Toure's agent has already said he will not go to Arsenal, so it must be Chelsea. However, as a Manchester United supporter I hope he comes to us to replace the terrible and useless Michael Carrick.
