According to reports in France Town are to take Lorient defender Yohan Bouzin on a four day trial. Bouzin, 28, is thought to want to leave Ulrich Le Pen's former club.

Joe Royle took Laurent Charvet on trial over the Christmas period, however no deal could be arranged with the former Manchester City man. Yesterday he joined Sochaux.

Bouzin has spent most of his career in the French Second Division, starting with Beauvais before he moved on to Gueugnon and then to Lorient in 2001.

This season he has made 14 league appearances and scored two goals.
