Could Yaya Toure reunite with Kolo at Scottish Premiership giants Celtic?

There is already one Toure at Celtic. And ambitious Hoops fans are dreaming of a Kolo and Yaya reunion at Parkhead this summer.

After eight years and three Premier League titles, Yaya Toure is bringing the curtain down on a majestic Manchester City career this summer. One of the greatest midfielders the English first tier has ever seen will be available on a free then and, despite his age and his massive wages, there is no shortage of interest in a player who still has the class to play at the top.

The Mirror are reporting that Everton, Wolves and Burnley are interested in the 34-year-old former Barcelona man, who wants to stay in Britain for family reasons.

In fact, Toure is so keen to stay that he would be willing to pay back half of his famously monstrous wages should he fail to impress at his new club. At least that is according to his outspoken agent Dimitri Seluk, in quotes reported by Sky Sports.

But with older brother Kolo working as a technical coach for Celtic, could there be a glimmer of a chance that Toure will be following him up to Glasgow? The Celtic fans are certainly hoping so.

Toure would be a marvellous signing; arguably the most naturally gifted footballer Scotland has seen since the heyday of Henrik Larsson.

But Celtic cannot compete with Premier League clubs in terms of wages or exposure, so this dream move could be exactly that. A dream.
