Toure set for Cardiff?

According to a report from Sky Sports News, Premier League club Cardiff City are in advanced talks with French club AS Monaco over the possibility of securing a deal for Almamy Toure. The 22 year old hasn’t been able to find a consistent place in the first team with the Ligue 1 strugglers, whereas in South Wales, he’d almost be guaranteed a fighting chance at consistent time in the starting XI. Toure, who has been with Monaco since 2010 when he was a part of the youth setup, hasn’t played for any other club professionally other than the former Champions League finalists.

The Premier League would serve as a pretty big change of pace for the youngster, although give Cardiff’s current situation, there’s no guarantee whatsoever that their stay in the top flight of English football would last beyond the next few months.

Cardiff are set to return to action against Bournemouth this weekend.
