French trialist eyes Blues move

Last updated : 06 May 2003 By Brian Cartlidge

The 27-year-old Monaco player, who played well in Blues reserves 1-0 victory over Newcastle last week, is believed to have been recommended to Blues boss Steve Bruce by on-loan striker Christophe Dugarry.

Jurietti, who spent a while on trial at Everton in January, is confident he has done enough to prove to Bruce he is worthy of a permanent contract at St. Andrew's in time for the new season.
