Javier Zanetti: 'Inter Milan close to Yaya Toure capture'

Inter Milan vice-president Javier Zanetti believes that the club are closing in on the signing of Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure.

The Ivorian has been heavily linked with the Italian side in recent weeks, with Inter boss Roberto Mancini, who signed him for City, saying that he would be keen to reunite with the player.

When asked about the Ivory Coast international, Zanetti told Tuttosport: "Yaya Toure? I hope we're entering the final discussions with him."

Toure has netted 51 goals in the Premier League for City since joining from Barcelona in 2010.
