Also facing the Canaries is Ibrahima Faye, a Senegalese central defender or left-back, who was with French side Troyes until the summer. The 30-year-old has previously played for SM Caen and Red Star 93 in France and Belgian side KAA Gent. Capped three times by Senegal, Faye has recently been on trials with Stoke City and Leicester.
The third trialist is Ragnar Leosson a midfielder, who currently plays for IA Akranes in his home country. Leosson is an Icelandic U19 international team-mate of Pape Mamadou Faye. The 18-year-old made his first team debut for his club in 2007.
