Tristan Trial

The 32-year-old is currently a free agent after leaving Livorno so would be eligible to sign for the club outside of the transfer window.

According to a number of media sources the once prolific goalscorer will be given a chance to train with the squad and manager Gianfranco Zola will then have the option of signing Tristan on a short-term contract.

The loss of Dean Ashton through injury means Zola is looking to add to his pool of strikers.
