Brotherly love and other transfer rumours

Manchester City want muscular Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure to join his brother Kolo Toure at the club. Manager Mark Hughes has been alerted by the news that Yaya was only offered a small increase in wages to £45,000 which makes him one of the lowest-paid players at Barca. City are hoping to sign him in January. Elsewhere, former Chelsea striker Andriy Shevchenko could be set for a shock return to the EPL with Birmingham, West Ham will make a January move for Bordeaux's Moroccan striker Marouane Chamakh, and scouts from Manchester United and Liverpool are expected to watch 14-year-old QPR striker Raheem Sterling, who has been picked to play for England Under-16s against Northern Ireland on Thursday.
