Former Leicester City star Robbie Savage's ambitious new club Macclesfield FC are already aiming for the top.

The phoenix club of Macclesfield Town have won back to back promotions in the past two seasons.

They started out in the North West Counties Premier Division in 2020, but are already pushing for the Football League.

Per The Telegraph, former Newcastle United star Papiss Cisse is training with the club.

The 38-year-old free agent has not played since leaving French side Amiens SC.

Managed by Alex Bruce, son of former Newcastle boss Steve, Macclesfield also had former Everton forward Oumar Niasse training with them.
