Marseille midfielder Imbula targeted by Chelsea

Chelsea reportedly want to sign Marseille midfielder Gianelli Imbula, according to the Evening Standard. Guy Hillion, one of Chelsea's most senior scouts, said that the France Under 21 international is a £25m Stamford Bridge target.

"I have seen [Imbula] often. As soon as he gets the ball he is able to accelerate and break through the lines," Hillion said.

"He covers well, has good technique, great vision of the game, with a very good quality pass and a great left foot."
