Aston Villa have handed a trial to France Under-21
keeper Steve Mandanda.
The Le Havre player represented his country in last month's
European Under-21 Championships in Holland.
"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," Villa manager Martin
O'Neill told the club's website.
Reports suggest O'Neill is keen to sign a new keeper with Thomas
Sorensen, who has only 12 months left of his deal, having not been
offered a new contract.
Mandanda joined the French Ligue 2 club's academy in 2000 and
established himself as a first team regular last season.
