CRYSTAL Palace assistant boss Keith Millen says trialist Osman Sow is someone he and Ian Holloway will have in their 25-man Premier League squad - if they decide to offer him a contract.
The 23-year-old has been training with the Eagles this summer and Millen stressed a deal will only be offered if the player can prove he has different quality to what they already have.
"The trouble with some trialists is they're not fit, and when they do come in, you've got to get them fit before you can make a decision.
"We've got two in at the moment in Quincy Owusu-Abeyie and Osman Sow, so I expect us to make a decision soon.
"Osman has done OK and we're trying to work out how he would fit into our style of playing and shape.
"He's 23-year-old, so he's not like 20 where we can put him into the U21 squad to develop, he's one that if we take on, would come into the first team squad.
"We've just got to work out if he is something we haven't got already to improve us."
