Krishna... Elland Road trial.
WE ALREADY have our seemingly knowledgable world-wide scouting network to thank for Luciano Becchio (definitely), Mike Grella (one for the future), Rui Marques (of course) and Davide Soma (possibly).
And only a few days ago we learnt of another trialist, Argentinian defender Walter Garcia, who started the recent reserve game against Middlesbrough at centre half – we conceded four. So it wasn’t the best possible start for Garcia, but another player did impress.
Fijian winger Roy Krishna started the game on the wing and eventually found his way on to the scoresheet. Though it wasn’t enough as we lost 4-3 (Somma scoring the other two).
Krishna is contracted to Waitakere United in New Zealand but has recently been linked with a move to Europe – PSV Eindhoven have been touted as possible suitors.
He has represented Fiji eight times, scoring four goals.
It’s good to see Leeds United’s scouting network still covers the globe.
Check out Krishna’s brace against New Zealand in a recent World Cup qualifier – his second goal is very well taken.
Roy Krishna is a hard out player, but i think he will sign for an a A-League side first. He has been considering North Queensland Fury and the Wellington Phoenix, so I wouldn’t get your hopes up about signing him soon

Does anyone know if there is a video available for the match Roy Krishna played in?
He didn’t want to goto PSV because of language difficulties. Fiji used to be a British Colony, so English is the medium of exchange and preferred for him…also if he does make it to England…it will be a first for the country.
