Two Italian youngsters are to come on loan to The Magpies as part of the link up to gain experience, but Dearden has admitted he will have the final say on the duo.
"If I don't think they are good enough for Division Two, then they will be sent back to Italy". Dearden told Radio Nottingham.
The duo are likely to spend time training with The Magpies during pre-season before Dearden makes a final decision on the players.
