Yaya Toure feels like he has one or two more years left in the tank to play in the Premier League as he claims his age won’t be a problem.
Toure is still active at the age of 36 as he recently helped Qingdao Huanghai return to the Chinese Super League and isn’t ruling out another run at English football as a player-manager.
The Manchester City legend is adamant that his age won’t get in the way as he is confident he has two more years left in his career and would only come back to the top flight for the right club.
However, the legendary midfielder understands that he will have to hang up his boots one day and that is why he is already considering a career as a manager.
I would love it but it depends on which kind of team

Toure told Sky Sports: "I would love it but it depends on which kind of team.
“We will see because sometimes in Europe people look at ages in a different way - it's not about that.
“It depends on the club and what they want to achieve.
"I don't want to go too far and propose myself but I just want them to give me a chance, we will see.

"In my mind I give myself one or maybe two years maximum playing football, after that I want to enjoy myself with my family and try to work in other ways.
"I want to be proud of myself. As a footballer sometimes when you stop it early it is because people are trying to stop you, it's not coming from your heart, it's complicated.
"I remember when I was in Greece and people were speculating about my career - I was not happy.
