Austrian Hot Shot On Trial

Last updated : 19 July 2003 By Kevin Markey
According to a report in this mornings Yorkshire Post, Reid will take Ernest Gund, available on a free transfer after turning down an offer from his club DSV Leoben, on trial next week.

Gund is 22-years old and was top scorer with 16 goals for DSV in the 1999/2000 season. He has one senior cap for Austria along with seven under 21 appearances. He is listed in 'Austria's sexiest sports personalities 2001' in 'Haltung Sport' magazine!

Gund is the most successful product of the last decade of Austria's youth program. He is Austrian football's brightest talent and tipped for bigger things.

Although only proving himself in a second division Austrian side, there have been continuous links with various Italian Serie A teams, but he has also been linked with a move to the English Premiership in the close future.

If all goes well, it could be with Leeds.
