West Bromwich Albion manager Roy Hodgson is happy to take a look at New York Red Bulls defender Tim Ream but admits he is unsure if the trial will lead to anything.
The 24-year old centre-half is spending a few days with the Baggies before heading to Bolton Wanderers and although Hodgson admits it is a good opportunity for the promising talent, he is not too sure if anything will come from the stint.
"Andy Marriott (Albion's assistant sporting and technical director) was over in the US recently chatting to the MLS and the New York Red Bulls because Tim Ream is one of their interesting young players," said Hodgson told the Birmingham Mail.
"They agreed it would be nice to spend a week with a Premier League club and we were happy to oblige.
"I don't know if it will lead to anything more.
"He's only played a few times for the US national team and I don't know his club are desperate to sell him.
"We already have a very good young 20-year old centre-half in Craig Dawson who we believe in very strongly.
"It'll be nice to have him here but who knows?
"It's not easy to buy players from the US these days unless they've played (regular) international games."
