Cardiff City have taken French striker Rudy Gestade on trial as they look at prospective new signings.
The 6ft 4in hit-man did his chances of a move to Cardiff no harm at all with the winner in Friday's friendly victory over Charlton.
Gestade has impressed Cardiff boss Malky Mackay during his stint with the club and the Bluebirds boss is keen to keep him on trial for longer as he weighs up offering the 22-year-old a deal.
"Rudy is a young striker who has thrown himself into it this week," said Mackay. "He's a lovely lad, he worked really hard and there was good interplay with Robert Earnshaw at times.
"There is a rawness about him, but he did well and I will talk to Rudy and his advisors about staying with us longer. I would love him to agree."
