Apau has been invited by manager Roberto Donadoni who wants to run the rule over the Ghanaian youth international ahead of a possible move for the 18-year-old.

GHANAsoccernet.com can reveal that the Ghana Under-20 speedster impressed during a one-week trial last week and was asked to stay on for another week for further assessment.

If the move is successful, the highly-rated youngster will be drafted to the team B side to enable him gain more experience.
