Chelsea Looking At France U21 International - Scouting Report

 Since Jose Mourinho's arrival at Chelsea rumours have been aplenty. Not only have the west London club been linked with almost every forward in world football, but his midfield would have been about 1,000-man strong if all the rumours had transpired. So, continuing the trend, here is another midfileder who the Portuguese coach is supposedly chasing.

Gianelli Imbula of Marseille is the man I refer to, as talkSPORT suggest that he is wanted at Stamford Bridge. The Belgium-born, Conoglese citizen who plays his international football from France - yep, you read that correctly - will supposedly be the subject of a January bid from the Blues.

A powerful midfielder with the ball retention of an wise old Regista, Imbula would be a welcome addition to Chelsea. Not only does he hold the energy levels of Ramires, but he can explode forward into the box like a younger Frank Lampard.

Standing at 6ft1, the 21-year-old has plenty of presence about him. But a twist in the tale is that he only joined his Ligue 1 employers this summer, which puts question over the entire thing.

Will he, won't he - we don't know. But what we can tell you is that all this talk of transfers is making us dizzy.
