Linked with Deji Sotona, who has trained with us near the start of pre season. He'd be a class act and would be a tremendous signing whether  it be a loan or permanent 

is this one you have heard about ? other than what you have typed?

Rather a stretch to say he caught the eye at Brentford B.

He only made 12-15 appearances for them (will check) mostly off the bench (was missing from some squads altogether), hardly mentioned in their match reports and only scored 1 goal, that coming as the final one in a 14-0 victory.

I wondered why it went quiet after the initial link/trial with us? Perhaps just assessing all options.  I'd be happy on the basis it's a pacy youbg forward with pedigree and potential.

7 appearances off the bench (15, 15, 30, 14, 10, 45, 24 mins)
3 appearances from the start (60, 60, 66 mins)

Quote

 

"Deji Sotona, who made his first appearance in a Brentford shirt from the bench, made an impact as he drove at goal and broke into the box before teeing up Trevitt, whose shot was blocked"

"Good work from Deji Sotona then set up Trevitt late on but his shot from just inside the box edged over as The Bees were left frustrated"

"_____ fed it to Deji Sotona but the pass was just ahead of the youngster, who would have had a chance at goal"

"Sotona was unable to keep his header on target"

"Substitute Sotona then finished form the edge of the box to make it 14-0 as the referee blew for full-time"

"Deji Sotona then floated in a dangerous cross on six minutes after he cut inside from the right, but his effort just evaded Nathan Young-Coombes in the box"

"12 minutes in The Bees could well have been ahead when Sotona was found in space before driving forwards. Midfielder Dom Jefferies did fantastically on the overlap to get alongside him but as he received the ball the keeper was out quickly to collect"

"At the other end, Deji Sotona was upended by Livano Comenencia"

"Sotona again the spark, his ball into Gilbert was hit at goal but Tyrick Bodak was equal to it, palming it away."

""After an hour, Sotona came closest to getting a goal back. Set behind by Gilbert, the winger drove into space but couldn’t get the ball out of his feet"

I thought he had left Nice and was a free agent now? 

He turned down a contract at United to go there as he was promised first team football that never transpired, apparently. 

Yes, believe he is a free agent now. Vieira took him to Nice if I remember right, then they changed manager.

what position does he play?

Striker, played as a number 9 at Man Utd youth teams, but can play wide too.

that makes sense. think we need another wide player as back up to bark and nml. would have liked Roofe but it looks like that link was bs. 

if this happens possibly stretton going out on loan as he’ll get more 1st football that way?
