Former Hibs boss Mixu Paatelainen can see Sol Bamba earning a big move away from a successful World Cup.

The Ivory Coast defender is interesting Fulham and has spoken of an approach from Arsenal.

Former Bolton Wanderers striker Paatelainen told the Scottish Sun: "He still has plenty of development ahead of him, but that will happen quickly enough because of the quality of players around him.

"Sol is very level-headed, but that doesn't mean he's not very ambitious. He wants to go as far as he can in football.

"A good World Cup will help him do that and when the time is right he will move on to a higher level. It won't just be down to him, he will need to sit down with his advisors and talk to his club, who will decide what is right for them as well.

"But I am sure he will relish the challenge of playing at the World Cup and I really hope he does well."
