Yaya Toure, a three-time Premier League winner, turned out in a Leyton Orient training kit on Friday in order to keep himself fit.
The ex-Ivory Coast midfielder, formerly playing for Manchester City and Barcelona, is working with the EFL League Two side during the season break in China but he is not preparing for a stint with Leyton Orient.
After ending his eight-year spell in the blue part of Manchester in 2018, the 37-year-old joined Greek side Olympiacos and then moved to the Chinese side Qingdao Huanghai in the summer of 2019.
According to British media, Toure’s agents contacted Leyton Orient about using their Chigwell training ground.
