West Ham Trials were a big Plus for David Obua
Jul 12, 2008 Transfer Rumours
The West Ham trials were a big plus for David Obua on Friday with our pre season training 
schedule.
Kaizer Chiefs Defender/Midfielder arrived from Africa on Thursday on what most people thought was a trip to Hearts to join his old coach Laszlo Csaba, but it turned out he had an invitation to trials with the West Ham boys.
