Trialist defender Frederic Veseli is keen to join the Blues, according to his agent. The 20-year-old former Manchester United man has impressed Mick McCarthy since he joined the Blues for their trip to Ireland and, following a hamstring injury, 45 minutes in Tuesday’s friendly at Gillingham.
His agent Adam Bouskouchi says he has already turned down offers from clubs this summer but is enjoying his time at Town: "A lot of people in the game recommended he went and worked with Mick McCarthy and they are certainly his number one choice.”
Veseli, who plays at centre-half and in midfield as well as at right-back, was previously linked with Crystal Palace, Birmingham, Wigan and unnamed sides in the Bundesliga and Serie A.
A Swiss international at U15, U16, U17 and U18 levels, Veseli joined the Red Devils from rivals Manchester City in January 2012. He was previously a youth player with hometown club FC Renens and FC Lausanne-Sport. He is yet to make a senior appearance for any of his clubs.
The Blues are already in talks with Tottenham regarding signing another trialist, centre-half Bongani Khumalo, on a season-long loan.
