Former ASTON VILLA record signing Wesley is without a club following his departure from Stoke City.
The striker left the Potters after his contract expired.

Wesley, 27, cost Villa £22m in 2019, the most expensive fee the club paid for a player.
He arrived from Club Brugge but failed to live up to the hype as he scored just five Premier League goals in four years.
The Brazilian’s time at Villa Park was hampered by injury.
He suffered an ACL injury following a Ben Mee table in January 2020 that kept him out for 480 days.
Wesley had several loans to try and regain his form, but left Villa in 2023.
He joined Stoke City last summer on a free transfer but failed to score in any of his 23 appearances in all competitions.
Wesley is now on the free agent list and joins teammates Tyrese Campbell and Ciaran Clark.
Stoke sporting director Jonathan Walters said: “Those who are leaving do so knowing that we are immensely grateful for their efforts during their time at the club.

“In Tyrese’s case, having played more than 150 games for one team is a rare feat in the modern era and represents a significant contribution to our club’s history.”
The Potters survived relegation from the Championship with a late comeback.
The club won the last three games of the season and finished six points above the bottom three.
Wesley is not the only notable player to be left without a club before the summer.
Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Kaylor Navas has revealed he is leaving the Ligue 1 giants.
Former Chelsea wonderkid Todd Kane has been released by Stockport.
