Eriksson to take a look at Al Qahtani

Manchester City manager Sven Goran Eriksson is set to offer Asian Player of the Year and Saudi Arabia captain Yasser Al Qahtani a trial. The 25-year-old Al Hilal striker has travelled to the City of Manchester Stadium with his club president Prince Mohammed Bin Faisal. And Al Qahtani is hoping to impress Eriksson as he eyes a possible move to the Premier League when the January transfer window opens. "I'm now in England after I got an invitation letter from Manchester City," said Al Qahtani. "I'm here with Al Hilal president Prince Mohammed bin Faisal and my agent Turki Al Mukairin. "I'm glad to train with such a good club in England and I will try my best to prove that Saudi players are good players."
