Yaya’s plea to EPL giants and other transfer rumours

Muscular Barcelona midfielder Yaya Toure has issued a "come-and-get-me" plea to Manchester United and Chelsea after being benched for Sunday’s clash with Real Madrid. According to reports in Spain, the 26-year-old younger brother of Manchester City star Kolo, is upset at failing to command a regular starting position at the Nou Camp this season and now sees his future somewhere else. Elsewhere, Argentina wonderkid Sergio Aguero has admitted he is ready to leave struggling La Liga team Atletico Madrid with Chelsea waiting in the wings with £40m; Tottenham are planning a £10m bid for Young Boys of Berne goal ace Seydou Doumbia, Didier Drogba’s strike partner in the Cote d’Ivoire national team; and Arsenal are lining up a move for 21-year-old Sevilla winger Diego Perotti who is rated at £20m.
