Transfer news: Yaya Toure admits he wants to make Premier League return on Monday Night Football

Former Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure has his sights set on a return to the Premier League.

The 35-year-old, who spent eight extremely successful seasons at City, left the club at the end of last season to join Greek side Olympiacos.

But things did not work out for the three-time Premier League winner at his new club. He made just two league appearances and started just a single game in his three months at the club, before his contract was terminated by mutual consent.

Toure however has no intentions to retire and has admitted he wants to make a comeback with a Premier League club.

“This is definitely not the end, I want to continue to play,” Toure said on Monday Night Football ahead of Manchester City’s match against Wolves.

“I went to Olympiacos and I quit because I was not so happy, the mentality was very different. It was a bad choice.

“Maybe it was an emotional choice because I started there and wanted to give something back to the fans.

“I'm well known in the world and wanted to give something back, but when I got there it was not what I was expecting.”

Toure added that he would like to return to England and envisions himself playing for another seven seasons.

"You never know, maybe the Premier League,” Toure said when asked where he wants to play next. “If it is possible I want to play one or two more years, we will see.

“With the new competition and the new mentality of the guys coming up I think a player could go on to 42 years old, but we will see.”
