Ivorian Legend Yaya Toure has given an insight into his next club after leaving Greek giants Olympiacos in December. The 35-year-old confirmed that there is interest from Scottish champions Celtic but admitted he is yet to speak with manager Brendan Rodgers.

Toure said “Celtic is a great team. Let me speak with Brendan, then we will see,”.

“You never know, maybe I could end up in Scotland, or England… or maybe France, anyway, I want a choice to maybe play one more year at a high level and after that, I will decide where I will go.”

Celtic recently completed the signing of another Ivorian, Striker Vakoun Issouf Bayo signed a four-year contract and joined from Slovakian club Dunajska Streda.
