'Sign him up!' - Leyton Orient fans excited as Yaya Toure pictured at club's training ground

There have been many unexpected sights in this most unusual football season, but few come close to seeing Yaya Toure in the training kit of English fourth tier side Leyton Orient.

The former Manchester City and Barcelona midfielder is currently on the books of Chinese Super League side Qingdao Huanghai, however their season is currently suspended due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Unable to travel and currently based in London, Toure trained with the League Two side on Friday to maintain his fitness before he can travel abroad to continue his playing career.

Nevertheless, the sight of one of the greatest midfielders in recent years donning the kit of a League Two club and taking to the training field was enough to set tongues wagging on social media, with Orient fans stunned by the sight of Toure in action in their colours.
