Sochaux fullback Bakary Drame hopes to win a contract at Birmingham during trials.

He said: "I was on loan last season at Real Sociedad. I am here now to show Birmingham I want to join them.

"The Premier League is for me the best league. I am settling well here and I want to play in this team.

"The coach at Sochaux [Francis Gillot] does not want me, but that is football.

"Hopefully I will earn a contract at Birmingham."
