Addicks trial Czech striker

Charlton have handed a week-long loan spell to FC Brno striker Ales Besta. The 25-year-old, who has fallen out of favour at FC Borno, will join the Championship club on a short-term loan with a view to a permanent move. Besta says if he were to earn a contract with the Addicks then a childhood dream would be fulfilled. Speaking to MF DNES, Besta said: "I will have my first training session on Monday and after a week they (Charlton) will decide whether or not to offer me a contract. "If they do, my childhood dream will come true."

Progress

Besta revealed that the Addicks followed his progression for a while before making an official approach. "When Charlton learned that I had fallen out of favour at Brno they acted straight away," he said. The striker is confident he can impress Alan Pardew enough to earn a contract with the club, adding: "I believe that I can impress here, England is my priority."
