Mystery over new West Ham trialist

A Southend United team sheet has revealed the names of two trialists with West Ham Under 23’s at the moment.

Goalkeeper Brian Kinnear formally from Glasgow Rangers was named on the substitutes bench but was unused last night at Roots Hall.

The other West Ham trialist was named as midfielder Toni Muhammet who replaced Bernado Rosa late on in the game.

Not much is known about Toni Muhammet with a google search not giving any clues to the youngster’s football origin.

Former Brighton and Hove Albion keeper Roco Rees who was released by the South Coast club at the end of June has also been on trial recently but was not named in the Under 23 squad last night.

One player who has had a summer trial with the Hammers is Leicester City’s Portuguese attacking midfielder Gio Loureiro who is looking for a new club.

The 15-year-old was released by the midlands club last month but is hoping he can land another Premier League club straight away.

Pompey midfielder Charlie Bell was another to land a summer trial with the Academy.

Earlier this year Birmingham City centre back Rico Browne had trials with both West Ham and Spurs but will remain in the Midlands after both clubs were quoted a fee of £1.5m.

Likewise, Peterborough United’s starlet Adler Nascimento who had trials with the Hammers went on to join Crystal Palace.

QPR forward Ryan Coley was another West Ham trialist earlier this year which came to nothing.
