Bolton manager Sammy Lee has taken 2 trialists to the club′s week long training camp in Austria.
The rookie tactician is eager to add additions for next season, his 1st full campaign in charge, with Spanish midfielder Mikel Alonso and Swiss wide man David Degen to be observed over the next week.
Alonso is the older brother of Liverpool player Xabi Alonso and currently plies his trade in Spain with Real Sociedad, who were relegated last season.
The 27 year old is thought to play in a similar style to that of his sibling and he is eager to make a move to the Premier League.
Degen usually operates wide on the right for Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga, and he too endured disappointment last season, as his club also failed to beat the drop.
The 24 year old has international experience having been part of Switzerland′s 2006 World Cup squad, with Lee of the opinion the pair would prove to be astute additions.
"I have invited the 2 players over to Austria with the rest of the 1st team team so we can have a good look at them. Both players would interest us for next season," Lee informed the club′s official website.
"Mikel (Alonso) is a creative midfielder who has an excellent passing game similar to his brother Xabi, who plays at Liverpool. David (Degen) likes to play wide-right and exploit the flanks. He has a good turn of pace, which would add a new dimension to our style of play."
