A quartet of Slovakian youngsters are looking to earn moves to England after linking up with two Premier League clubs.

ZTS Dubnica defender Martin Klabnik is training with Derby County's Under 19 squad, while Manchester City are looking at Vojtech Milosovic, Albert Rusnak and Filip Orsula.

Emil Kovarovic, who is Klabnik's agent, revealed the 16-year-old has been watched by Derby on a few occasions in recent weeks.

"The first-team manager (Billy Davies) is expected to see him in training," Kovarovic told SITA.

"I recommended Martin to Derby after the summer's Under 17s tournament in Hungary.

"The English team were watching him during the Under 17s' qualifier in Scotland and two weeks ago they arrived to see him in a domestic league game."

The three players on trial at City are likely to be given a second opportunity to impress Sven Goran Eriksson's coaching staff in December.

Kovarovic: "Manchester City have given three-day trials to Vojtech Milosovic from Slovan Bratislava, Albert Rusnak from MFK Kosice and Filip Orsula from Spartak Trnava.

"All three of them are expected to arrive in Manchester again in December to undergo another trial."
