35-year-old Ivorian international and Former Manchester City Midfielder Yaya Toure Joins Olympiakos
The Former Barcelona
and Manchester City midfielder Yaya Toure re-joined Olympiakos on Sunday, after
making his mark in Europe topflight leagues.
The 35-year-old Ivorian international
played for the Piraeus-based side during the 2005-2006 season, scoring three
goals in 20 matches.
He then joined Monaco before moving to
Barcelona between 2007 and 2010. After Gulf-based owners injected huge funds
into Manchester City, Toure was one of the key signings that helped the club
win three major Premier League titles in seven years.
He played 230 matches for City, scoring 59
goals, he was released by the club at the end of last season after another
title conquest, although he had grown frustrated with his lack of playing
opportunities in northwest England.
Toure has also played for Metalurh Donetsk
in Belgian club Beveren (2001-2003) and Ukraine (2003-2005).
He backed 19 goals and made 101
international appearances.
