Newcastle United have offered a trial to young Lens star Abdelhakim Omrani. Manager Alan Pardew, in continuation of his policy of bringing talented French players to Tyneside, has given the 20 year old an opportunity to impress the Toon management with his skills.
Omrani, who is of mixed Franco-Algerian descent, also had a trial last season at German giants FC Bayern. He impressed the Bavarians enough for them to make a bid for him, but unfortunately for Omrani, the two clubs could not reach an agreement regarding his transfer fee.
Newcastle have a sizable French speaking contigent at the Sports Direct Arena, with the likes of Yohan Cabaye, Demba Ba and Hatem Ben Arfa impression for the Magpies this season in the league.
