Boyoko and Bokoto looking to impress Still

Dagenham & Redbridge manager John Still will assess the ability of two French youngsters in Tuesday's friendly with Bromley. The versatile Goffin Boyoko, 21, and forward Molami Bokoto, 20, are both on trial with the League One new boys and should feature in the friendly. Boyoko can operate in both midfield and defence and was a graduate of the renowned Clairefontaine academy that has produced the likes of Thierry Henry, Nicolas Anelka and David Trezeguet. The Congolese Under-23 international, who has previously captained Lille's reserve team, spent time training with Manchester United's reserves earlier this year. Bokoto also played with Lille and has made two first-team appearances. He had a successful trial with Southampton in 2009, but a change of manager along with financial difficulties curtailed his switch. League One rivals Brentford and Exeter are also looking to running the rule over the French youngsters, although no date has been set for their arrival at the club.
