Nolberto Solano is undergoing a trial this week at Colchester United as the club's manager, Aidy Boothroyd, considers offering a contract to the former Newcastle United and Aston Villa midfielder.
The 35-year-old Peru international, who had a 23-game spell with West Ham and a season with Larissa in Greece's Super League after leaving St James' Park in 2007, currently plays for the Peruvian champions Universitario de Deportes.
"We can attract players like Nobby now, we'll see how it pans out," Boothroyd told the BBC. "I tried to sign him for Watford but he went off to America. He now plays for a team in Peru who have just won the championship there and I asked him to come over and see if he's still got what he had and to see if he likes us.
"I suppose it is a bit of a date that we're having at the moment. As is usually the case you don't get married on a first date, you've got to go out a few times before you make any big decisions."
