Yaya Toure is reportedly dreaming of a Premier League return with Crystal Palace and West Ham United possible destinations.
After just three months and five games at Olympiakos, it seems that Yaya Toure has his heart set on a return to English football.
The veteran midfielder saw his ill-fated spell at the Greek giants come to an end on Tuesday, with Sport24 claiming that manager Pedro Martins was very disappointed by Toure’s performances, leading to his contract being terminated out of the blue.
According to the Mail (live blog, 12.47pm), the former Manchester City star’s outspoken agent, Dimitry Seluk, is now set to approach both West Ham United and Crystal Palace as he aims to find his client a new home.
Toure, a former Barcelona and Monaco player, is understood to have his heart set on a return to the Premier League.
And you can see why Seluk would see West Ham as a potential destination given that Toure played arguably the best football of his career under Manuel Pellegrini at the Etihad Stadium.
The 35-year-old won the Premier League title in 2013/14 under the Chilean, scoring 24 goals in all competitions from central midfield.
Crystal Palace, meanwhile, are struggling at the bottom end of the Premier League and could be crying out for a player like Toure to lead them away from the relegation zone.
The Mail, however, adds that any deal for Toure is unlikely to be cheap, although the former Ivory Coast international has already turned down clubs in the Far East and the United States.
