Bangkok : Former Thailand prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who took full control of English Premier League club Manchester City Monday, has arranged trials for three Thai national team players.
Defenders Suree Sukha and Kiatprawut Saiwaeo and striker Teerasil Dangda will train with the team in Manchester next week, Thai football officials said Wednesday.
Teerasil, 19, and Kiatprawut, 21, made their senior national team debuts at the ongoing Asian Cup, where co-hosts Thailand failed to advance from the group stage.
Attacking fullback Suree, 24, has been a regular for the national team since 2005.
The Shinawatra family secured 75 percent of Manchester City shares Monday to take total control of the struggling side, whose last major success was 31 years ago when they won the League Cup.
