Yaya Toure is on the verge of sealing a free transfer after passing a medical in London, according to his agent.

Toure is currently without a club since leaving Manchester City at the end of last season, ending his eight years with the reigning Premier League champions. The 35-year-old has made it clear that he does not want to retire just yet, and has been exploring opportunities to remain in the English top flight given he remains available on a free transfer.

His agent, Dimitry Seluk, caused a stir on Tuesday evening when he announced on Twitter that the Ivory Coast international has already undergone a successful medical based in London with a club, but refused to name which club that is.

Getty Images Top summer transfer targets Wilfried Zaha The Crystal Palace man is often linked with a move away from Selhurst Park and this summer is no different, with Tottenham just one of the clubs interested. Spurs defender Serge Aurier - an Ivory Coast team-mate of Zaha - got Spurs fans excited with a cryptic Instagram post but the winger is likely to cost big. Getty Images Top summer transfer targets Toby Alderweireld The future of the Tottenham defender has been one of the permanent fixtures of the gossip columns this summer as he looks certain to leave Spurs after failing to agree a new contract. Manchester United are reported suitors, along with Paris St Germain, but the London club are holding out for a substantial fee. Danny Rose and Mousa Dembele are other Spurs players who could leave.

The Frenchman is reported to been keen to leave Manchester United in order to get more game time, with a swap deal including Alderweireld heavily touted. But Jose Mourinho appeared to suggest he will remain at Old Trafford, even though he left the club's US tour early.

Leicester are desperate to keep the defender, though, so it could come down to how much Mourinho is willing to pay.

The £65million arrival of Alisson appeared to seal his fate and the German is understood to be considering his position, but does not have long to do so.

Injury has ruined his time at the club, but he could have a way out with Crystal Palace thought to be interested in the former Burnley man.

That move appears - at this stage - to be dependent on whether Maurizio Sarri can bring in a replacement before allowing the Belgian to leave. Getty Images

“@YayaToure has passed a medical in London,” Seluk wrote. “Yaya is close to signing a new contract.”

Despite refusing to name which club is supposedly about to sign Toure, Seluk did rule both West Ham United and Crystal Palace out of the running, despite the former being strongly linked with a move given Toure’s relationship with new manager Manuel Pellegrini from their time together at City.

“It’s not West Ham, 100%,” Seluk added. “Yaya is a champion. The last place is not for him.”

That leaves the three-time Premier League winner with three possible destinations in Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur, while two unlikely options would be Watford and Fulham.

But Seluk is determined to find Toure a new home to keep his 17-year professional career going, and even admitted earlier in the summer that the midfielder is willing to pay back half of his wages if his performances are not up to the expected standard.

"Yaya is fit and desperate to prove he's still the best central midfielder in the Premier League," Seluk told Sky Sports in May.

"Ivory Coast will not be in Russia for the World Cup and next season he will be fit, rested and stronger than ever.

"He's happy to accept a one-year deal to stay in England. And if his club are not satisfied with his performances, he will pay back half his wages, or the club can cancel his contract immediately, with no compensation."
