EXCLUSIVE: Forest to hand Turner trial

Last updated : 15 December 2003 By Daniel Mounser
I understand the youngster, who used to be on Forest's books with his brother Barry, is looking for a return to English football having played last season with Brondby.

The midfielder is currently injured but will be looking to impress Paul Hart and his coaching staff in the new year.

Meanwhile, there has been increasing speculation regarding England U21 star Michael Dawson.

Last week, Aston Villa manager David O'Leary expressed his interest but it is now believed Gerard Houllier could come in for the centre-back in January's transfer window.

Many believe Manchester United have first refusal on Dawson because of the Michael Stewart loan deal at the start of the season but Villa and Liverpool will almost certainly be in the hunt.

It is looking more and more likely either Michael Dawson or Andy Reid will be sold and bids of £5m and £4m respectively have been discussed in the press.

Birmingham City and Charlton will be most likely to fight it out for Andy Reid's signature.

The 21-year-old has already netted ten goals for Forest this season.
