Banbury United's scoring sensation Norman Sylla could be on his way to second division Brentford FC, if a trial at the west London club proves successful.

Norman SyllaSylla, 20, who hit his 22nd goal in only 17 starts in the Dr Marten Eastern Division side's 3-0 win over Ashford, is this week training at The Bees.

But it looked very different for the Frenchman in the summer, when he was released by Oxford United boss Ian Atkins.

However, he got the chance to resurrect his ambition to play professional football when Kevin Brock, brought him to Banbury.

This came after striker Matty Gooderick was ruled out for the season after suffering a double fracture of the leg in a friendly with Abingdon United.

Brock said: "He trained with Brentford today and yesterday and tomorrow they want to play him in the reserves.

"It might well happen they will take him. We knew the situation might come up.

"We'll just have to wait and see how it goes at Brentford.

"I want him to do well for himself, but we don't want to lose him.

"His main strength is his finishing, which is fantastic. His pace is also a great asset.

"He is a natural goalscorer. You can't teach that. Like good goalscorers, he doesn't do an awful lot outside the box, but you know they'll be on the end of it when the ball is played in there.

"There's not many people around like that. He's been brilliant for us. To have a bloke who can finish at this level is tremendous for us.

"I know Norman has received the plaudits for his goals and rightly so, but the whole team is working so hard, particularly George Redknap.

"He loves it at Banbury. He gets on great with the players. He lives in the town, which is one of the reasons he came here.

"He is ambitious. He wants to play at a higher level, and if an offer comes in, we wouldn't stand in his way.

"If he does go he will certainly be remembered here - some of the goals he has scored have been brilliant.

"Word get around and I think teams are getting wary about Norman. Ashford played very narrow, but they still couldn't cope."
