The 22 year old has greatly impressed since moving to the Stade Velodrome last summer and the defensive midfielder has been pretty much a virtual ever present for the south-coast side and with four years left on his Marseille contract it will apparently take a bid in the region of £25m to lure Imbula to London.
Jose Mourinho is not the only Premier League manager keen on Imbula, Tottenham’s Mauricio Pochettino also courts the former French Under 21 international.
