Former Premier League hotshot trains with Robbie Savage's seventh-tier non-league team - and they could sign him up as a free agent at the age of 38

Robbie Savage's ambitious Macclesfield FC have reportedly had a former Premier League striker training with them - with a view to signing him on a free.

Macclesfield FC, a phoenix club of Macclesfield Town, are flying through the football pyramid after back-to-back promotions since starting out in the North West Counties Premier Division back in 2020.

Savage, Macclesfield's director of football, is always trying to raise the bar and having a former Premier League striker lead the line would be quite the coup.

The Telegraph report that former Newcastle United star Papiss Cisse is the man training with the non-league side.
