Paris St Germain have denied reports that that 21-year-old midfielder Youssouf Mulumbu is on trial at Premier League side West Bromwich Albion.

The Congolese ace's current contract in Paris expires at the end of the season but the Ligue 1 club released a statement saying: "the midfielder is still part of Paris St Germain's professional squad."

PSG want to keep the highly-rated 22-year-old, who has already featured for them more than a dozen times.

However, Mulumbu has already expressed his desire to seal a move to West Brom.

"I am here to try and impress and play in the Premier League for years to come," he told skysports.

"I am confident in my ability, so we will have to see - I need to convince the manager that I have the drive to help Albion stay in the Premier League."
