Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle United all want a bit of Imbula - French Football Weekly

Players were wanted by one of the most in France, one of the most prone to leave his club in summer time. His last mission in France is to help Guingamp gain promotion. Jonathan Johnson profiled Gianelli Imbula for this yearas Le50, and he's the real deal. Since becoming the youngest player in Ligue 2 record when he made his debut aged only 17 years, one month and four times in 2009, big things have now been expected from Gilbert aGianellia Imbula. Fast-forward to 2012 and his group En Avant Guingamp are challenging for marketing to Franceas top-flight for the very first time since their relegation in 2004. A membership, just their distress 2009 Coupe de France success (yes, while they were in the second collection) and a 2006 Intertoto Cup enhance the trophy case. That small ranking has, but, enabled the Belgian-born, Franco-Congolese midfielder to travel beneath the radar, remaining fairly unrecognised. That hasnat stopped Premier League edges Arsenal and Chelsea from recognizing his expertise, but until summer at least, he will remain at Guingamp. Unlike former teammate and last yearas Le50 representative Anthony Knockaert, EAG have been able to keep Imbula after hitting a a9.5 million cost on his mind. But, the team that helped start the careers of Didier Drogba, Florent Malouda, Vincent Candela and Stephane Guivarcah won't be able to keep him past this season until they reach the Promised Land of Ligue 1 for an eighth season inside their existence. Even though they do, there is no assurance that the 20-year-old will stay at the Stade du Roudourou. On the message, Imbula is a defensive midfield enforcer. An athlete with pace and raw power and a ferocious opponent, he is deceptively skilful and has superb way of a person who has not yet tasted any degree of international football. Left-footed and relatively large (6ft 1in), Imbula is really a hard-working box-to-box midfielder in the form of Newcastleas Moussa Sissoko, and is effective at complementing the assault despite being based further right back on the frequency. Even though he has the capacity to enhance a teamas attacking expertise, it's some thing we rarely see from Imbula. Rather he prefers to focus on his defensive jobs, but he's significantly more than effective at locating the net along with his favoured remaining peg, as everyone who witnessed his thumping drive against Le Havre earlier in the season will acknowledge. Actually, that attack is the 3rd one of his career so far with goalscoring arguably the weakest point of his sport. His the others are planning and set pieces, something he must work on given his shape. Targets could be something of a collectoras item with Imbula, but he contributes more in the form of assists. The truth that EAG have the ability to hold regular clear blankets is testament to the get a handle on the midfield general has over his sideas defensive efforts. Despite an abundance of talent throughout the message at senior level, it's incredible that the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) have not seen fit to even hand the Vilvoorde indigenous a solitary under-21 top so far. aThe next Claude MakAlAlAa he could be, but athe next Moussa Sissokoa is more likely. Imbula has the natural characteristics to be always a leading Ligue 1 star if given the chance. But if he's to go on sooner in the place of later, it seems possible that he'll identify his potential elsewhere if nurtured precisely. His worth is weakened slightly by his insufficient ability facing target, but that's something that may be improved eventually. Ligue 1 experience will gain Imbula and if Guingamp reach the Promised Land then it will be thanks, partly, to him. If he leaves Brittany too early his absence next time could however prove high priced for all parties. To read about more excellent small playeras like Imbula, you should buy Le50 for only 99p.
