Lierse are developing closer ties with Manchester City.

Lierse chief Jesse De Preter admits he's building a closer relationship with City which will see more players spend time with the Belgians on-loan.

Dominic Oduro is already trialling at City this week.

De Preter said: "I have from my past as a lawyer very good contacts with Manchester City. Hence we now have Oduro trialling. If our sports staff give a positive assessment of Oduro it makes it possible that we'll have more players from January on loan from Manchester City."
