New Delhi, March 10 :     Bhaichung Bhutia had his first day of trials with Premier League club, Aston Villa yesterday. His trials will continue for some more days. Villa have showed interest in his skills and seem poised to sign him. [Gordon Smith, acting as the player?s agent, was quoted in today?s The Guardian as saying: ?The club has offered him training facilities for a few days to see if he will like it over here and if he feels he can settle?, adds AP from Birmingham. ?There is a large Indian community within the West Midlands area and the club is keen to search for fresh talent which reflects this,? added Smith.] The BBC featured Bhaichung in their Sports Round-Up programme. In a telephonic interview with BBC, Bhaichung said this was not only a great opportunity for him, but also a major boost for Indian football. Bhaichung?s absence from today?s crucial National Super League against Mohun Bagan has left East Bengal unhappy, a Staff Reporter in Calcutta adds. Speaking at the post-match press conference East Bengal manager Swapan Ball said the club will certainly seek an explanation as to why the ace striker failed to return by yesterday as he had promised. Punitive measures too are not ruled out.
