APR’s midfield kingpin Jean Baptist Mugiraneza alias Migi and striker Ernest Kwizera are set to under-go professional trials at Germany’s first division club FC Cologne next week.

The military side duo will have a two-week trail session at the Bundesliga side. Migi will hope for better lack this time after a failed attempt last year.

The Amavubi star failed pro-trials at French second division club-Guingamp.

While APR’s Secretary General Adolphe Kalisa is happy about the move, he was bemused by FC Cologne’s scouts for acting unprofessional.

The official has criticized the scouts for trying to lure the duo behind the club’s back.

"We have no problem with letting players go for pro trials but when people cross the line by trying to lure players behind our back, then it becomes a very big issue,” Kalisa fumed.

Migi, who is still struggling for full fitness after an injury sustained in Blida hopes that he will be fully fit by the time he flies out to Germany.

"I’m happy with the progress I have made. I should start light training on Monday,” the 19-year-old said.
