Sports Brief understands Toure is currently attached with Tottenham's academy as he works on earning his coaching badges.

Daily Mail now reports the Ivorian is set for a sit down with Tottenham chiefs to discuss a possible full-time coaching position at the north London club.

According to The Evening Standard, the 38-year-old is already aiming for his A license that would allow him to land a full-time coaching job before the end of the month.

Tottenham ready to reward Yaya Toure for his work ethic

The publication claims Tottenham's decision to reward Toure with a full-time job has been influenced by his increased workload in recent months.

Talks over his deal are scheduled to begin soon after the conclusion of the Under 18 season where he helped Spurs finish ninth out of 14 in the south division.

At the time, the former Barcelona star worked in a department overseen by academy manager Dean Rastrick.

He also worked closely with Chris Powell but had no direct involvement with the first team.

Meanwhile, Toure has previously been involved in football management with QPR, Ukrainian club Olimpik Donetsk and Russian side Akhmat Grozny.
