Highly rated Aaron invited by Monaco for trials

Sarpsborg 08 attacker Aaron Samuel has been invited to train with Ligue 1 moneybags Monaco, his agent Atta Aneke has said.

And if the 19 - year - old impresses manager Claudio Ranieri at the end of the exercise, he will be offered a contract with effect from January 2014.

“I will be traveling with Aaron on Monday morning. He has been invited to test with the Monaco first team for about a week.

“Towards the end of last season, the Ligue 1 side sent their scouts to run the rule over him in Norway.

“But they could not reach a decision and have now decided to watch him at close quarters, in their own environment.

“For a young player, it will be a very big move if everything turns out good in the end.
