Ex-St Etienne attacker Florent Indalecio trialling with Newcastle

French youngster Florent Indalecio has been handed trials by Newcastle United.

The Evening Chronicle says the No10 has featured in some of United Under-23 fixtures in pre-season and scored a spectacular overhead kick in training recently, which Allan Saint-Maximin has now posted on his Instagram account.

But it remains to be seen whether he extends his stay on Tyneside.

The former St Etienne player - 23 - was dismissed by the Ligue 1 club for bad behaviour but is trying to feel his way back into European football again after a stint in Australia with Fraser Park FC.

Indalecio admitted to French media earlier this year: "I had bad behaviour, I was a rowdy and cheeky student. I was fired from the centre two weeks before the end of the course.

"The coaches did not want to keep me, football was not enough. I was too young, and at that time I didn't realise it."
