Yaya Toure training with Leyton Orient as cheeky fan suggests Os retire No42 shirt

Former Barcelona and Manchester City star Yaya Toure is training with Leyton Orient.

The 37-year-old midfielder recently left Chinese Super League club Qingdao Huanghai and is joining in with sessions at Orient's Chigwell Training Ground to get fit.

The club's official Twitter account posted: "Who have we got here then?

"It's only three-time Premier League, Champions League, La Liga and African Cup of Nations winner Yaya Touré.

"There he is look, in his Leyton Orient top at training this morning."

They added: "Yaya Toure lads. B***** hell."

In a cheeky pop at Birmingham's decision to retire Jude Bellingham's No22 jersey after his move to Borussia Dortmund, Twitter user Alexander Rose replied: "Think we should retire the 42 shirt on the back of this."

Toure won La Liga and the Champions League during his time with Barca. He joined City in 2010 and won three Premier League titles during an eight-year spell before a brief stint at Olympiacos.
