Villa trial France U21 keeper

The Kinshasa-born custodian impressed at Ligue 2 side Le Havre last season, conceding 38 goals in 37 appearances to underline a burgeoning reputation. "He'll come in for a couple of days so we can have a look at him and we'll see what happens after that," Martin O'Neill said. Reports suggest Villa are keen to sign a new keeper as Thomas Sorensen, who has only 12 months left of his deal, has not been offered a new contract.
