BURNLEY have taken Toulouse striker Eugene Dadi on trial.

The 6ft hitman Dadi made his name with Linz in Austria. The French first division strugglers snapped him up for £500,000 last season.

A product of the Sochaux Academy Dadi has UEFA Cup experience with Linz.

Former Toulouse coach Alain Giresse said: "He's strong and he's not bad in front of goal."

Dadi was at Gawthorpe today going through a training session with the rest of the Clarets squad after playing yesterday's behind closed doors friendly with Manchester United.
