English football club Blackburn is going to test the 16-year-old goalkeeper of Bulgarian outfit CSKA Sofia Georgi Sholevski. The teenager had already left for a three-day trial in the UK, Focus news agency said, where the British team was considering adding the Bulgarian.

Sholevski would also take part in a match before his return to Sofia on May 9, Focus said.

Sholevski is a goal-keeper for CSKA and the Bulgarian national team of players born in 1992. He managed to attract the attention of Blackburn with a promotional video, presented by his agent Petyo Kostadinov.

CSKA chief executive Alexander Tomov personally saw the player off at the airport, saying that the team believed in Sholevski, but if something failed, he was part of CSKA and could feel secure about his future in CSKA.

Earlier this year, Blackburn gave a trial to Levski Sofia striker Valeri Domovchiyski, but dropped its interest after it emerged that the Bulgarian under-21 national was unlikely to receive a work permit in the UK.
