Norwegian keeper Espen Johnsen is to undertake a two-day trial with Championship outfit Leeds United.
The 26-year-old is currently out of favour with Rosenborg and is keen to find first-team football elsewhere.
Lars Hirschfeld's arrival has pushed Johnsen down the pecking order and he is now set to pitch up at Leeds.
Johnsen will spend Thursday and Friday training with The Whites in a bid to make a favourable impression with manager Kevin Blackwell.
Rosenborg remain unsure whether Leeds are keen on loaning Johnsen or whether they want to press ahead with a permanent transfer for the shot-stopper.
"We don't currently know if Leeds want to buy Espen, or take him on loan," said Rosenborg sports director Rune Bratseth to TV2.
Leeds are currently scouring the market for keeping reinforcements with number one Neil Sullivan on the sidelines and Ian Bennett departed for Sheffield United.
Johnsen is a quality keeper IMO seen him play a couple of times. Snap him up KB!!!!
