Livi misfit has Italian chance

Toure-Maman has been told he can leave Almondvale when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.

The midfielder has spent two years with the SPL side but has made just one appearance this season.

The 22-year-old still has a further 12 months remaining on his contract but Livi are happy to cut their ties with the African.

Udinese have now handed Toure-Maman the chance to resurrect his career by inviting the midfield man to Italy in the New Year.

Livi boss Davie Hay feels Toure-Maman could have the talent to earn a contract with Udinese and has no qualms in releasing the player.

"For whatever reason it just hasn't worked out for him here," said Hay.

"I've always maintained he is an exceptional talent but he's not produced it often enough for us.

"We've had a long chat, though, and if this doesn't work out for him then he'll be welcomed back with open arms and given a fresh start."
