Subrata Pal, Gouramangi Singh who have currently signed up the the IMG-Reliance IPL style league is going to have trials with the Danish premier league football club FC Vestsjaelland. FC Vestsjaelland earlier appeared in India media in the month of June when they earned promotion to Danish premier league.

The club has an Indian connection as well. Anglian Holdings, an NRI-owned conglomerate has acquired some strategic stake in the club.

It should also be noted that players signed for IMG- Reliance are in the lurch because of the ongoing impasse between the marketing partners of AIFF and the clubs. Earlier yet another player signed for IMG-Reliance – Syed Rahim Nabi was said to leave for US to participate in trials with MLS side DC United. IMG-Reliance will at least try to get trials for players signed with them, or else their players risk of losing crucial playing time with the ongoing limbo with I-league clubs.
